Biography
Antoine Pouplel was born in 1956 in Havre in France. He lives and works in Paris in France.
A former student at the Académie de France in Rome, recipient of the Villa Médicis grant, his experience in Rome enabled him to develop a style of photography that is deeply connected to the act of painting. « If I chose the photographic medium, it is to deconstruct its mechanical character, to reintroduce the part of the artist which uses light like a pictorial substance.» The body, eroticism and the representation of the sacred and death are the most recurring themes in his work.
