Guillaume Pinard
Guillaume Pinard is an informed observer of art and cultural artefacts—of which he scans appearances and hidden meanings. He willingly defines himself as an artist who draws, but he also uses several mediums such as painting, sculpture or animated images. He explores very eclectic styles. In the last decade, through a work of copyist, he has appropriated masterpieces from the past. Nevertheless, he looks to the future with illustrated stories. Pinard says of his work, “In this way, very early I began to consider pieces of art as doors and I can confirm that it is at their threshold that I still try to stand.”
Recently he has had solo exhibitions in several art centers in France such as Le Quartier in Quimper, Le BBB in Toulouse, La Chapelle du Gêneteil in Château-Gonthier, as well as in galleries, including Anne Barrault gallery in Paris, Vera Gliem in Cologne and Team Gallery in New York. He has been part of group shows at Thaddaeus Ropac gallery, France, Seventeen Gallery in London, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Nice, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Rennes. He is the author of AMOR (2015), Un art sans destinataire (2012), Le Clou …
