Jean-Pascal Flavien

Born in 1971 in Le Mans, France

Since the 2000s, Jean-Pascal Flavien has made the house his central theme, reflecting on the occupation of space by combining architecture, sculpture, and performance. Initially in the form of models, then of maquettes, and finally of habitats, his architectural structures are conceived as “house-sculptures”, or inhabitable sculptures. His pared-down, monochrome aesthetic is close to modernism, with a focus on the constrained habitat.

Born in 1971 in Le Mans, Jean-Pascal Flavien studied at the École régionale des beaux-arts de Rennes before studying further in Italy and the United States at the University of California. He now lives and works in Berlin.
