Artist

Hoël Duret
Born in1988 Hoël Duret graduated from the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Nantes.
His work was exhibited at the Centro Pompidou, Palais de Tokyo, Palazzo Strozzi, Opera Garnier – Opéra de Paris, Seoul Art Museum, Yishu 8 – Beijing, Martos Galery Los Angeles,  Castillo/Corrales and at FRAC des Pays de la Loire. At the moment he works in Paris and Nantes. Hoël’s works fall under the category of the absurd, they are the visions of a bumbling artist. Below the jesting and often ironic surface there is a critical way of thinking in between homage and irreverence to art history, visible thanks to the numerous hidden reference in his works. His practice is trans-disciplinary and his references that range from cinema and design to dance and painting, from music to architecture. The plastic and critic reflection of the artist develops also through the realization of many projects in which fiction and narrative have a central role. Every project adopts different form which correspond to different parts of the narration and create installations, video, performances, editorial projects, paintings and sculptures. The construction the artworks develops as if it were a movie with a screenplay, acts and characters. With great liberty Hoël imagines the creative process and the role of the artist, he has multiform vision that goes towards a total art and preserves its authority.
