Thomas Garnier is a contemporary and digital artist based in Paris France

Born in 1991, Thomas Garnier is a french contemporary and visual artist intitialy trained as an architect. He then graduated from the Fresnoy, Studio National des Arts Contemporains (specialized in cinema and digital art) where he was awarded the special prize «Révélations Art Numériques» by the ADAGP, society of french artists for his graduating installation «Cénotaph». His work has since been shown at international events, festivals and biennials such as the Nuit Blanche (Belgium), the WRO biennial (Poland), the Scopitone festival and the Nemo biennial (France), and in foundations such as the Fosun Foundation (Shanghai) and the Fiminco Foundation (Paris) where he was resident for a year.

His practice is that of an artist but also of a researcher or a heterotopologist, as defined by Foucault in his text «les espaces autres». This search and construct of meaning in the ‘‘liminal’’ or ‘‘l’entre deux’’ brings him to produce automated and collapsing sculptures, infinite moving images that loop on themselves, displays that randomly compose linguistical accumulations and etchings of digitally corrupted files.

He thus seeks singular and distant places, social and material motives which question the conscious and unconscious manufacture of space and image, the problematic nature of the utopian/dystopian duality, the radical manifestations of the contemporary in man-made geometry and power dynamics. The critical nature of the works develop through wandering, and the observation of real spaces. In Thomas Garnier’s work we seem to witness the archaeology of a drifting and derived world, caught between and obsessed by the congregation of multiple timeframes and techniques, derived from nonexisting primal-futurism, retro-additivism, multi-brutalism, supra-romantism or any word accumulation that you could dream of by yourself.
