Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
A self-taught artist, I was born in 1971 in Orthez, a small town set in South Western France between the Wine Country and the Pyrenees.
In 1994, I found a reel of pewter wire on the counter of my chemistry lab. I began shaping small decorative motifs based on one-line drawing, with this wire. This craft-making technique also known as wire-art released instantly my bottled creativity.
Feeling the inner need to explore the world through art making, this modest art form gave me the liberty to develop a creation at the cross between newspaper cartoon, art brut and symbolism.
Between 2003 and 2005, driven by the desire to confront my sculptures/paintings to other cultures, I began an around the world trip and presented my art to children in Chile, Senegal, Israel, France and India.
Since then I have had personnal and collective shows in the South of France and in Spain.
In 2014 I was part of the Fountain Art Fair at the park Avenue Armory with the artists collective Hullabaloo.
In 2012 my work "Looking for new art" was featured by Jayson Musson (aka hennessy Youngman) for the facebook presentation of the collective show "itsa Small Small World" at Family Business in Chelsea.
