M. Dominique Blais

From the very beginning of his artistic practice, Dominique Blais has always developed his work in light of contextual logic. Space, temporality and constraint(s) are thus the subjects and / or the objects that the artist investigates in order to develop a conceptual and formal response in relation with the predominant elements of his approach: the sensitive and physical perception of our environment, the attitude to the invisible and the inaudible, or, amongst others, the possible materialization of time.

The question of materials, both physical and evanescent, is substantial in his work. Not limited to a particular field, he expands his visual vocabulary through the use of a great range of mediums and techniques (drawing, ceramics, photography, installation, sound, video, etc.) that allows him to conceive and elaborate proposals echoing the problems of his research process.

Dominique Blais lives and works in Paris. He graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Nantes, he holds a DEA of Media Multimedia Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (Paris) and a post-graduate diploma of the School of Fine Arts in Marseille.

His work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the Biennale de Lyon, Musée d'arts de Nantes, Frac Franche-Comté in Besançon, Minsheng Art Museum in Shanghai, the Vilnius Academy of Arts Vilnius, Zacheta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, at the Palais de Tokyo, the Grand Palais and the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, at the Villa Arson in Nice and at the Mac / Val in Vitry-sur-Seine. His works are present in many public and private collections.
