“I’m a being attached to the flaws inherent to humankind. We are all much the same: we
make mistakes, we feel vices, at times give in to them, and we correct our flaws as best we can. Humankind delights me, enlightens me, wounds me, no longer surprises me, and at times forgives me… as I can sometimes forgive anyone -without any religious principles. I strive to transcribe these flaws through my experiences, my life, leaving a blue patch as a mirror, a witness to the scene. Antique civilizations inspire me and serve as my subjects, representing identities both universal and eternal in a contemporary context. Are these Greco-Roman statues and Egyptian sculptures really devoid of any flaws? How would they react in today’s world?
Through all these inspirations and my own experiences, I feel the need to confront and to unite these two different worlds…
On a simple sheet of paper, I found my solution: collage.”
MIME is a French visual artist based in Tours. After studying digital and motion design
at the IDEM school of creative and digital arts, he turned his attention to digital
works, installations and NFT, a practice that has become an obsession. MIME draws
his inspiration from his travels and the bookshops he visits: he leafs through, sources,
hunts, cuts, recuts, hides and glues faces and bustiers from every era. He has taken
part in digital art exhibitions at the Grand Palais Ephémère in Paris and in the group
show at the Nox Gallery in Tokyo. This is his first exhibition in Belgium, following solo
shows in France and Japan.
