  • Antoine Donzeaud

Antoine Donzeaud is a visual artist based in Paris. Antoine Donzeaud’s work operates through propagation. It is linked to architecture in the verticality of formats, the reference to the frame, the structure of construction, as well as in the horizontal movement, stroll, and wandering. In its form, minimalism intersects with the urban imprint of advertising and graffiti. This relationship with architecture is vast, drawing inspiration from John Divola’s photographic series of abandoned houses and Gordon Matta-Clark’s monumental cuttings. It is also contradictory as it is connected to both the building and its deconstruction. But above all, it is intimate, born out of the artist’s obsession, fascination with a digital and urban meta-language, a desire to tell the stories of those who inhabit it.
