Introduction
Florent Lamouroux's work questions the representation of the "Other" through his own identity, by developing a practice - active and reactive - that responds to absurd images of the world with even more grotesque parodies. His approach consists in replaying with irony the stereotypes that our society contributes to produce and thus tends to question the world on its possible standardization. Irony is for him a means of contradicting the established order by using mockery as a weapon and simulacrum as a means of expression. The artist always prefers the autonomy of creation and the economy of medium in reaction to spectacular blockbusters: to create his sculptures, he simply envelops "reality" in an assembly of plastic sheets and adhesive tape, thus creating empty, artificial and standardised body arrangements, in the image of these plastic toys that the artist likes to draw inspiration from. Florent Lamouroux's work also takes shape through performances, photographs and videos.
Florent Lamouroux was born in 1980 in Decize (France).
He lives and works in Huismes (France).
His work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions in France, including the Carroi - Musée d'Arts et d'Histoire in Chinon (2019), the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Tours (2018), the Max Ernst House (2017), the Centre Chorégraphique National in Orléans (2015), the HEC Contemporary Art Space (2014) and the Centre Pompidou.
In 2010, 2011 and 2015, Florent Lamouroux organised and led several workshops at Studio 13/16 at the Centre Pompidou. He has also carried out numerous projects in partnership with companies, art centres and universities where he was in residency.
