Corentin Darré

Corentin Darré (lives and works in Paris, FR) is a French artist. He is a graduate from Paris-Cergy National Higher School of Arts (Cergy, FR) in 2020. Corentin Darré’s practice begins with a writing process in the form of a tale, and then explores the way in which the virtual and real dimensions can intermingle and interact. Like escaped from the 3D, the sculptures and sets continue to create a narrative image outside the digital surface of the screen. Through the use of lacquer and gloss, he gives these objects a fantasy dimension, reminiscent of the items needed for a player’s quest or the textures brought to the gameplay. These scripted works evoke the rejection, love, violence and addiction that come from the relationship with the other, but also the pain of loneliness and abandonment of isolated bodies. Based on the legends and folklore that build the collective imagination, Corentin Darré points out contemporary issues questioning the world’s attitudes towards otherness.
