Artist of the Collection

Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux

Born in 1950 in Paris, France

Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux explores art and its boundaries by juggling the poetic and the absurd. Close to popular art, he ignores conventions and their seriousness in order to better question the very status of the work by confronting traditional art with the grotesque and the ridiculous. He recognizes the influence of artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Robert Rauschenberg. The questions that Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux raises on the place of art in society are also reminiscent of the approach of the Fluxus movement. The artist thus blurs the values of traditional art and does away with any hierarchy between each of the constituent components of his own installations.

Born in 1950 in Paris, Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris. He lives and works in Paris.
