Bouet & Claudon
Artists, Paris
Etienne Bouet and Mathieu Claudon came to art through skateboarding. While once marginal, skateboarding has bridged many other practices: photography, graphic design, painting, movement and architecture. As a result, this multidisciplinary approach shaped their vision. Through their images, the city appears as a stack of geometric blocks and quickly becomes a gigantic playground.
Quickly, their work moves away from skateboarding to capture other subjects in order to question shapes, volumes, architecture and circulation in the urban landscape.
Since 2016, Etienne & Mathieu regularly exhibit their work in France, Europe and the United States. Their series of painted photographs have been recognized both in the world of skateboarding and contemporary art.
