Sylvain Rousseau
Born in 1979 at Saint-Nazaire, France
Sylvain Rousseau’s work and visual research are structured around the flattening of volumes and forms. The artist transforms the three-dimensional object into a two-dimensional image through a process of displacement and appropriation that situates his works between sculpture and painting. By using the original materials of the objects he flattens, he plays on our perception of the works and challenges the conventions of representation. His “painting-objects” thus allow him to comment on the status of the image.
Born in 1979 in Saint-Nazaire, Sylvain Rousseau studied at the École nationale supérieure d’arts de Paris-Cergy. He was a member of the artist collective Glassbox from 2003 to 2007. He lives and works in Paris.
