Marc Etienne
Born in 1971 in Arles, France
From performance to sculpture to assemblage, Marc Étienne’s shape-shifting artistic practice explores the connections between humans, nature and their surroundings. He takes a close interest in amateur practices, crafts, and folklore in a process aimed at pushing the limits of the field of art. Despite their hyperrealism, his works always record the traces of the artist’s hand, which, he describes as “traces of the time spent working, toiling, or traces of pleasure.”
Born in 1971 in Arles (France), Marc Étienne is a graduate of the École Supérieure d’Art d’Avignon and the Beaux-Arts de Lyon. He was nominated for the Pernod Ricard Foundation Prize in 2007. He lives and works in Marseille.
