« A contemporary artist who combines sculpture, collage, video, sound, drawing, installation, and text, David Douard is the creator of a disturbing and complex body of work, disrupted by the schisms, neuroses, and viralities of today’s world. The artist finds inspiration in contradictory cultural references: poetry, the history of science, technology, animism, and counterculture. While his work is not directly narrative, like that of a novelist or screenwriter, David Douard approaches storytelling as a propagation, somewhere between illness and rumor, full of viral images, matrix texts, hybrid sculptures, mutant scripts, and programmatic bugs.

Notably revealed by a solo exhibition, “Mo’Swallow” at the Palais de Tokyo in 2014, curated by Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel, David Douard is now a leading figure in the field of contemporary art, as evidenced by his latest solo exhibition, “Permanent Hymns” at the Chantal Crousel Gallery in Paris. » Jean Max-Colard
