Since the early 1990s, Michel Blazy, who is often referred to as “the gardener of contemporary art,” has been producing ephemeral works ranging from chalk paintings on the ground to sculptures made of shaving foam and frescoes made of carrot purée. Using natural or artificial materials from everyday life, the artist engages in a dialogue with matter through experiments that are more playful than scientific. While he provides the initial impulse, he then surrenders to the unpredictability of the living being which moves through the space-time of the exhibition through various events and accidents. His installations are thus “never definitive forms, but proposals at a given moment.”

Born in 1966 in Monaco, Michel Blazy graduated from the Villa Arson in Nice. He lives and works in Paris.
