Edgar Sarin
Biography
Born in 1989 in Marseille. Lives and works in Paris.
His work bears witness to the formal search for a political and environmental harmony, of which Human being would be the catalyst. Over the years, Edgar Sarin has developed a somewhat unique working strategy, building up a spectacularly organic and natural body of work: « I feel that each new work is potentially a new burden that risks “defining my practice”, which I find terrifying in a way, because it would be so counterproductive. So I tend to consider a new artwork through the spectrum of an “escape” with regard to the little heritage that has built up over all these years in my studio and at my shows. This escape represents progress for me. Beuys said that art is the science of freedom, and I really want to believe that. »
His work is thus elaborated by porosity with the environment. He defends an approach that favors learning about the world and the material - a reasoned form of the creative gesture - which he develops in a plural and precise sculptural corpus.
In 2023, two major works by Edgar Sarin joined the collections of the Centre Pompidou (Paris).
His work is part of prestigious collections such as Musée Maillol (Paris), Fonds de Dotation Emerige (Paris), CCCOD (Tours), Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium (Norway) or Zuzeum museum (Riga)...
Edgar Sarin's work has been recently exhibited the French Institute of Tokyo (Japan), Carmignac Foundation (Porquerolles), Grand Café (Saint-Nazaire), Musée de l'armée (Paris) ; la Monnaie de Paris ; Collège des Bernardins (Paris) ; Centre d'Art Contemporain Chanot; Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré (CCCOD); as part of the Nuit Blanche 2018 and at Konrad Fischer Galerie (Berlin).
Edgar Sarin received the EMERIGE Revelations Award 2016, an event in which our gallery was a partner.
