Edgar Sarin
Biography
Born in 1989 in Marseille. Lives and works in Paris.
The artist approach of the exhibition and his research for a primordial gesture make Edgar Sarin one of the most singular artists of his generation. His two favorite medium, painting and sculpture, tend to unify in the exhibition space to become an “architectural experience”.
“Objectif: société” is the name given by the artist to a major cycle of research on exhibitions recently celebrated by the release of a monographic publication (2024, Éditions Manuella) with texts by Donatien Grau, Mouna Mekouar, Jean-Marie Gallais, Jean-Pierre Criqui, Éric de Chassey...“Objectif : société” thus speaks of mankind, in its relationship to the world and to nature; offering a repertoire of forms and techniques specific to the artist: artworks are born in ”a mechanism very close to life [...] Nature tries out different paths, perpetuates the ones that work.”...
Michel Rein met Edgar Sarin in 2016, the year in which he was awarded the EMERIGE Revelation Prize 2016, an event for which our gallery was the partner. Since then, the gallery has organized five solo exhibitions by Edgar Sarin, in Paris and Brussels.
In 2023, two works by the artist joined the collections of the Centre Pompidou, Musée National d'Art Moderne. In 2024, Edgar Sarin inaugurated his first permanent public commission, a monumental bronze in the city of Le Havre.
Edgar Sarin was awarded the Académie des Beaux-Arts - Institut de France - Pierre Cardin Prize for Sculpture in 2024.
Edgar Sarin is the founder of Paris based exhibition oriented research group La Méditerannée. Since 2020, the group curated exhibitions in places such as Venezia, Kassel, Paris, Riga, Miami, Tokyo or Roma.
