Mosaic artist, child of the 80s, former advertiser, passionate about images and objects, Kidpier sees himself as an heir to pop artists in the tradition of French ready-mades.
His work involves confronting symbols of 21st-century culture with the ancestral art of mosaic, thereby expressing the notion of testimony, a central concept in all his works. This testimony, seen as an inheritance or contemporary archaeology, uses a millennia-old tool of expression and draws inspiration from the intangible everyday, thus capturing a modern iconographic heritage.
For him, the mosaic artist destroys and creates, breaks and assembles, in a time-consuming practice that requires an almost ritualistic repetition of ancient gestures. From a harmonious chaos emerges a perfect figuration.
The choice of mosaic as a medium is the result of an accident, the traces of which it still bears. This practice, in its modus operandi, accurately testifies to the traumatic experience of having a broken body.
