Bastien Faudon
Théia, daughter of heaven and Earth
Opening Thuesday 16th January – from 06 pm to 09 pm
Bastien Faudon graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts d’Avignon (DNSEP with congratulations from the jury).
In 2020, he is Eve de Medeiros’ favorite at the DESSIN PARIS Salon.
In 2021, the Lambert Collection in Avignon is dedicating a personal exhibition to him entitled “Cosmos”.
In 2024, he will participate in the Chroniques festival – Biennale of digital imaginations, as part of the exhibition “The future is already there” at the Grenier à Sel, Avignon.
By summoning a mythological reference, Bastien Faudon invites us on an imaginary journey. Theia is in fact the name given to a star which would have struck the Earth long before the appearance of life, and whose debris would have ended up forming the Moon. Theia is also the name of a Greek divinity, a Titanide, who gave their shine to precious stones and rare metals.
Between myth and reality, the works presented in the exhibition invite us to think about our universe through the prism of a new cosmogony. Here the artist explores the interactions between art and science by navigating a transdisciplinary space. Through drawing, video or sculpture, he questions our perception of reality and blurs the boundaries between image and object, at the crossroads of scientific rigor and visual poetry. If Humanity is not explicitly present in his work, it reveals itself indirectly through its relationship with the world.
