Daniel Dezeuze

Daniel Dezeuze takes part in Sète - Palermo from 15 to 25 September 2022.

As a visual artist, he examines art’s place in society. In 1967, his work entitle Châssis avec feuille de plastique tendue prepared the ground for his formal and intellectual research surrounding the traditional medium of painting.

In the 1970s, he was one of the founding members of the Supports/Surfaces movement. His work revolves around questioning painting, picture rails and space.

Pervaded by artisanal practices and anthropology, his unique itinerary passed through experimentation with materials regarded as poor (wood, grilling, netting, fabrics, diverted objects). With simplicity and depth, gentleness and emotion, brutal curves and pure colours, he demystifies painting and endeavours to lay it bare.
