ブラン デニス

ブラン デニス [フランス] DENIS BRUN [FRANCE]

My close environment and my everyday life’s rites are at the origins of my productions, without any hierarchy in between the medias I use.
They embody the polychromatic and multidimensional reflection of my attempts to deal with reality, in order to protect myself from it, with the will to synthesize most received informations.
Therefore, I can recreate (with any kind of «data») a personal and contemplative dimension, however opened on the outside.

The first 22 years of my life were totally boring. After a year of preparation at the Villa Saint-Clair, in Sète in 1988, I followed the cursus of 5 years at Villa Arson in Nice where I graduated in 1994.
