Born in 1962, Frédéric Lormeau lives and works in Dijon. He completed a master’s degree in Visual Arts and Art Sciences at the University of Paris 1 Sorbonne in 1985, where he graduated with high honors. Since then, he has continued to accumulate personal and collective exhibitions.
The artist and his plastic works cannot easily be cataloged. Lormeau’s work is halfway between sculpture and painting. His works are a kind of “composite” which does not exist solely through their aesthetics. The artist questions the object, its form, its material future, its purpose.
In 1995, during the Cinq/Funf exhibition at the Villa Streccius in Laudau, a house that belonged to a Jewish family, Lormeau imagined the steps of the young girl of the house, steps stumbling against walls, windows, doors. The artist requested a dancer who moved around the space of the villa carrying one of these objects, a sculpture of a beer fountain in which a compass was inlaid. The dancer’s movements transcribe a journey as marked as it is fatal. Lormeau’s artistic works are tools of intercession which lead to an encounter, a questioning, a dialogue.
