Artist of the Collection

Samuel Richardot

Born in 1982 in Aurillac, France

Samuel Richardot’s painting combines systematism and rigour in the application of geometric stencils, chance and contingency in the use of diluted paint dried flat, and a rapidity of gesture with spray painting. Various operations carried out on the same canvas follow one another in their own temporality. Samuel Richardot’s pictorial oeuvre thus makes its production process visible which, for the artist, is conceived as a choreography, a composition established from existing forms and variations in the way they are arranged.

Born in 1982 in Aurillac, Samuel Richardot graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris (2006).
