Mathieu Duvignaud explores the relationship and confrontation between humans and their environment, blending memory and transience in the contemporary world. His works, true diaries, respond to his daily concerns about the power struggle between the raw world and our modern society.

Drawing inspiration from France and Brazil, Mathieu uses a varied palette of materials and techniques to create unique works. He has explored themes such as the conflict between technology and atavism, the notion of landscape, and has even used ants to criticise society. His creations take various forms: performances, installations, abstract paintings made of salt.

The artist takes us on an artistic journey, where each work is a response to a specific moment. This wandering and fluctuating approach is reflected in his works, which oscillate between the ephemeral and the revelation of human and non-human marks on the territories he explores. Mathieu Duvignaud thus maps a contemporary testimony of our earth, embracing the multiplicity of interpretations and readings that his art triggers.

Thomas Turner worked in movie decoration for a long time before devoting himself entirely to his art in 2012. Painter and sculptor, he works on the refinement of lines and likes to play with the notions of “borders”, those between the abstract and the figurative, the mechanical and the biological, the inert and the living.

He takes particular care to ensure that his works reflect a balance between strength and delicacy, by combining, for example, the roughness of a texture with the softness of a curve. He lives and works in Brittany, near Dinan.
