About
Jérémy Griffaud:Jérémy GRIFFAUD is a young artist from Nice who graduated from the Pavillon Bosio in Monaco in 2017.
He paints watercolors of an imaginary mode that he digitizes and then animates by computer. These animations can be seen in the form of films, but also in virtual reality or in the form of immersive video installations. He takes the viewer to share his fascination of colorful and hypnotic parallel worlds, while revealing the problems of our time. These bewitching, hypnotic, psychedelic and singular worlds question the relationship between Man and Nature.
His short films have been screened more than a hundred times in about thirty countries. In 2021, his film Dungeon won twice the prize for best animation at the Boden Film Festival in Sweden and at Emerald Peacock in Saint Petersburg. That year he created his installation Contre-Nature which was presented in 10 exhibitions between 2021 and 2022 .In 2022 he presents Enlarge Yourself, an interactive installation during the ARTPRESS Biennale taking place in Montpellier at La Panacée (MOCO). He also carries out international projects, such as his participation in the Night of the Museums at the Four Domes Pavilion in Wroclaw, Poland, or residencies in Berlevag, Norway, Penang, Malaysia or Beppu, Japan. He is also a member of several collective projects: VeryHighStuff (scenography and curating), ITOLADISCO (audiovisual performance) and SUPER ISSUE (art micro-publishing).
