Yann Leto
(1979, Bordeaux)
His painting is dense and detailed, has a clear approach to socio-political criticism and works as a collage where various typographic elements coexist with classic and modern elements. The encounters between the elements of the work are so clear that the gaps and the “paintless” planes of the painting disappear. The approach without rules of the protagonists makes possible an emotional visual circle that repositiones the human being in a society marked by uneasiness. Almost like a sickly collector, Leto stores a large number of Google images and press clippings on various hard drives, a visual archive that he draws from to create his own universe.
