Cédric Bouteiller, born in 1970, is a multi-disciplinary artist engaged in the realms of painting, photography, and graphic design.
Bouteiller's artistic oeuvre is characterized by its ultramodern essence, which manifests as digital photographic compositions transposed onto aluminum substrates. Augmenting these works with an amalgam of collages, drawings, tags, and watercolors, Bouteiller further imbues them with a luminous translucence through the application of resin.
Educated in Fine Arts and Philosophy in both Marseilles and Aix-en-Provence, Bouteiller's artistic journey began with a profound fascination with urban landscapes. Architectural motifs pulled from cities such as New York, Shanghai, Paris, and Marseilles serve as the foundation upon which Bouteiller overlays an array of symbolic interventions—the mark of a tag, the cryptic language of signage, or the presence of human figurations.
Central to Bouteiller's creative vision is an interrogation of consumerism, which he subverts with a blend of humor and irony. Bouteiller's art emerges as a mosaic of influences, anchored by three elements: color, materiality, and dynamism.
The artist has exhibited at a series of international exhibitions, both solo and collective, including at the Fabien Castanier Gallery in Los Angeles, the Artemisia Gallery in New York, and the Art-Addict Gallery in Biarritz, France. Bouteiller's art has fetched record-breaking prices at esteemed auctions, cementing his status within the contemporary art world.
