Guillaume Bruère (1976)

Guillaume Bruère

Guillaume Bruère is a French painter, drawer, sculptor and performer. He lives and works in Berlin.

Guillaume Bruère graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Nantes (DNSEP) in 1999, then from the Ecole Européenne Supérieure de l'Image in Poitiers in 2003.

Fascinated by the major artists of art history (Holbein, Dürer, Rembrandt, Goya, Van Gogh, Giacometti, Picasso, Bacon), Guillaume Bruère has been working since 2009 in many museums and prestigious institutions (e.g. Kunsthaus Zürich, Musée Picasso Paris, Fondation Vincent Van Gogh Arles) to reinterpret their works, notably through drawing.

From his confrontation with the art of the past (Egyptian, Greek, Mexican, heraldic art, etc.), a singular, dense universe of extraordinary vitality emerges through the use of colour, the expressiveness of his gesture, the sureness of his line, and collage, which can be found in many of his drawings, but also in his painting, sculpture and performances.
