Biography

Camille Blatrix’s sculptures, which he refers to as “emotional objects,” move tenuously between affective and descriptive registers. Constructed with a highly technical precision and subverted by more instinctive intrusions, his works bring together wood, resin, and aluminum through advanced machinery and technical processes such as 3D modelling and wood marquetry.

 

Camille Blatrix (b. 1984, France) lives and works in Paris. Recent solo exhibitions include presentations at Balice Hertling, Paris (2022, 2017, 2016, 2014); Centre d’Art Contemporain du Synagogue de Delme, Delme (2021); Kunsthalle Basel, Basel (2020); Lafayette Anticipations, Paris (2019); and CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art, San Francisco (2016), among others.
