If I discover the measure that makes it appear, it dazzles me."

Biography

Matt Frenot studied at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art et de Design in Nancy and at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles. He participated in the Création&Mondialisation research program of the Offshore school, led by Paul Devautour in Shanghai.

His work spans the field of visual arts through photography, video, sound, writing, and drawing. His approach is defined by a fragmentary representation of the places he explores in relation to color.

His pictorial writing draws from the experience of multiple spaces—domestic, natural, urban—a vision crafted from sensations to create dreamlike universes.

His works have been exhibited in various venues (museums, galleries, cinemas, shops, chapels). He regularly collaborates on scenography and the arrangement of artworks in exhibition spaces and collection sites (galleries, architects, collectors, and independent curators).
