Verog

Born in Versailles in 1952.

Education: Trained at the Beaux Arts (School of Fine Arts) in Versailles (modeling) and the Beaux Arts in Paris (under Étienne Martin). This training was supplemented by various city of Paris workshops in painting and sculpture (Place des Vosges, Montparnasse, and Place Marc Bloch).

I work in Paris and Brittany. I belong to two artists' associations: "Le génie de la Bastille" and "Les artistes à la Bastille."

My work is expressed across painting, sculpture, and installation, with a predominance in recent years for sculpture and artistic installations.

I favor materials known as "poor materials" (as defined by the "Arte Povera" movement) — meaning paper, textiles, plants, and even plastic.

Deeply inspired by so-called "primitive arts," I seek to create improbable encounters that make different substances dialogue, thus creating an unusual universe that I hope is poetic.
