Édouard Nardon was born in 1978 in the south of France, and has been living in New York for almost 13 years. Nardon developed his passion for art since childhood, which first manifested itself while drawing on book covers, and then slowly grew into work. Édouard Nardon owes his love for drawing to his mother and grandmother, who passed on his artistic sensibility during his upbringing. Besides art, the artist spends a lot of time alone, listening to strange songs while driving around New York. In 2008, he participated in a small group show where he met the sculptor and performance artist Tom Patoche. Tom Patoche introduced him to the New York art scene and taught him a lot. Nardon has participated in many solo and group exhibitions, including Lily Robert (Paris), Magic 175 (New York), Suprainfinit Gallery (Bucharest) and The Address (Brescia). The work of Édouard Nardon consists of paintings and specific sculptures, which are strengthened through the process of ennobling personal allegories on the border between the generic and the imaginary. His entire artistic practice is strongly influenced by the ideas of interpretation and subjectivity. He depicts figurative compositions and degrades them with a certain logic of change. In his works, the artist uses special materials: gesso mixed with plaster and interior paint, as well as various types of pigments and oils. Nardon strives to distance himself as much as possible from the development of his paintings, moving away from the logical and reaching a state where the unconscious gesture plays a role in shaping the form. He was heavily influenced by the classical depiction of the human body and how emotions can be expressed through posture in both painting and sculpture. In general, Nardon's work is very interesting and versatile. It functions as a result of its own laws, systems and hierarchies and in doing so uses the limited available materials.加载中...
