Ne\u0301 en 1973 a\u0300 Saint-Loup, Suisse, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Clot vit et travaille dans le canton du Vaud en Suisse.<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Ses peintures et dessins \u00e9voquent des lieux \u00e9nigmatiques, des r\u00e9miniscences abstraites et insaisissables de notre pr\u00e9sent, refl\u00e9tant la conception \u00e9largie de la communication \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e8re digitale.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

1973, pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment au moment o\u00f9 \u00e9mergent les technologies de l\u2019infographie et de l\u2019imagerie num\u00e9rique, l\u2019artiste d\u2019Ependes est un fils du num\u00e9rique. Rappelons que c\u2019est \u00e0 cette m\u00eame p\u00e9riode que le terme \u00ab pixel \u00bb devient progressivement populaire. Le carr\u00e9 chez Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Clot \u00e9voque justement cette unit\u00e9 de base, rappelant ainsi la pr\u00e9dominance de l\u2019\u00e9cran. C\u2019est ce signe, aussi simple soit-il, qui lui permet de passer progressivement d\u2019une peinture figurative architectur\u00e9e ou paysag\u00e8re \u00e0 une pratique plus abstraite. Un art a\u0300 mi-chemin entre peinture et \u00e9criture, \u00e9laborant un syst\u00e8me complexe de signes graphiques pour r\u00e9unir l\u2019histoire, son \u0153uvre refl\u00e8te ainsi une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 hyperconnect\u00e9e dans laquelle, paradoxalement, l\u2019humanit\u00e9 reste isol\u00e9e.\u00a0 K.Tissot, “Fils du num\u00e9rique”<\/em>, Berlin, Hatje Cantz, 2024.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

<\/h2>\n

De 1991 \u00e0 2001, il apprend le dessin et la peinture par lui-m\u00eame, exerce divers petits boulots et s\u00e9journe longuement dans les Cara\u00efbes, en Am\u00e9rique du Sud, en Afrique et \u00e0 New York. En 2003, Francis Marmande \u00e9crit \u00ab Guerriers et fant\u00f4mes ant\u00e9rieurs de Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Clot \u00bb, texte accompagnant \u00ab Le Livre des quarante guerriers \u00bb, publi\u00e9 par Remarques \u00e0 Lausanne, en Suisse. En 2004, il dessine 78 m\u00b2 de ville pour son exposition \u00e0 Forde (centre d’art contemporain) \u00e0 Gen\u00e8ve. En 2015, il re\u00e7oit le prix Casimir Raymond. D\u00e8s lors, il vit et travaille entre Ependes, en Suisse, et Lisbonne. En 2023, il collabore avec Karine Tissot \u00e0 la publication d’une monographie sur son \u0153uvre aux \u00e9ditions Hatje Cantz, Berlin. En 2024, \u00ab Digital \u00bb para\u00eet chez Hatje Cantz, Berlin. La m\u00eame ann\u00e9e Il est laur\u00e9at du prix Liechti pour les arts visuels.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Born in 1973 in Saint-Loup, Switzerland, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Clot lives and works in the Swiss canton of Vaud.<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

His paintings and drawings evoke enigmatic places, abstract and elusive reminiscences of our present, reflecting the expanded conception of communication in the digital age.<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1973, precisely when computer graphics and digital imaging technologies were emerging, made this artist from Ependes a child of the digital age. It’s worth noting that it was during this same period that the term “pixel” gradually gained popularity. The square in Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Clot’s work evokes this basic unit, thus recalling the predominance of the screen. It is this symbol, however simple, that allows him to gradually move from figurative, architectural, or landscape-based painting to a more abstract practice. An art form halfway between painting and writing, developing a complex system of graphic signs to bring history together, his work reflects a hyper-connected society in which, paradoxically, humanity remains isolated.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
