ANTWAN HORFEE has established as one of the most promising international talents of his generation. His aesthetic is characterized by an “exuberant versatility” of media, techniques, materials and is influenced by the artistic avant-garde movements, by the CoBrA and Gutai groups, by the culture of graffiti writing and by the folkloristic and popular culture of which he is a collector of objects and fabrics. Graduated from the Academie des Beaux Arts in Paris, Horfee has developed a visual language that fosters an interactive relationship between his imagery and the observer; his aesthetic welcomes coincidences that create a personal, mysterious and contemporary visual language, a corpus that contains figurative and surreal elements combined with gestural abstraction. He has explored all media, from painting to sculpture and has directed and created numerous animated films and immersive experiences. The overlap of layers, the sense of depth, the play of lights and an unmistakable trait generate a distinctive expression; his color palette is powerful and impactful and blends in a time dominated by digital images; and his “imaginary worlds” combining blurred images, scale up details and colorful interferences connect with the era of diversity, noise and uncertainty in which we live. Charismatic member of the historical PAL crew (Peace and Love, Paris) since the beginning of the millennium, he has already established in his early days as one of the most influential writers on the international scene, while his studio research intertwines street practice with a mastery of tools and techniques, as well as his profound knowledge of the experiences of great artists of all disciplines. His works have been exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, at the Ludwig Museum, at the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Lyon and at the Michael Horback Foundation in Cologne.He has also held many solo exhibitions and is represented by top contemporary art galleries such as Ruttkowski68 in Cologne, Ceysson & Bénétière in Paris and Nino Mier in Los Angeles and Brussels. He lives and works in Paris.
