Renaud Jerez
(*1982, Narbonne,
lives in Paris)
Renaud Jerezis one of France's most interesting artists active internationally, and often produces large-scale alternative worlds he builds from colorful processed material. Often, the site-specific environments contains expectation or an element of performance.
Like a cartoon version of “Avatar” with snowboard boots, he creates a futuristic vision or starting point – a sculptural scenario skillfully saturated at an almost factory-like pace.
As a starting point, Jerez had the whole corner space on Svetsarvägen clad in green, sort of like an empty intermittant stage – waiting to work as a backdrop for his vivid installation taking place on September 16th 2020, together with Tore Wallert in "Finale".
Previous exhibitions include the ICA, Miami; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Jennys, Los Angeles; and Le Consortium, Dijon.
