Stéphane Thidet

Playing with plastic forms and paradoxes of perception, Stéphane Thidet's universe is often confusing, even disturbing, and leads the viewer into strange margins. Each work of the artist — object, sculpture, video, installation — is part of a process of hybridization of the real which oscillates between immediate poetry and threatening slip. The artist defines her work as a world of "gentle violence", which does not seek to "imagine new forms", but simply "to work with the world around it".

Graduate of the National Fine Arts Academy of Paris in 2002 and the Fine Arts Academy of Rouen in 1996, he is also teaching at the Fine Arts School of Nantes Métropole. His works were presented in numerous individual exhibitions among which Désert (Desert at Maubuisson’s Abbey, 2016), Solitaire (Solitary at the Collège des Bernardins, 2016), Une histoire vraie (A true story at the Fiac, hors-les-murs, Aline Vidal Gallery, Delacroix’s Museum, 2016), Les Crieurs (The Screamers, Cairns, Digne-les-Bains, 2014), Vie Sauvage (Wild Life Patio of the maison rouge, 2011).
