Quentin Fromont

We are excited to introduce Quentin, a visual artist and curator!

Graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in 2022, Quentin Fromont is interested in fantasies and how they can create spaces of freedom and exploration of the complexities of intimacy.

Through his images, installations, sculptures and readings, he stages mental spaces where the struggle for survival mingles with the desire to escape. His work explores the vulnerability of bodies in the face of violent experiences, such as sexuality or illness, oscillating between beauty and absence, illness and healing.

He experiments with the materiality and liquidity of the image, using water or saliva. An amalgam of images of male bodies and dreamlike landscapes drawn from archive films and personal recordings. He creates an idealized or hallucinatory vision, revealing bodies in tension, entwined and interpenetrated. In this floating temporality evoking dream or nightmare, the interactions of his spectral presences highlight desire, attention, struggle and violence of the body.

His work has been shown as part of the opening week of the Festival de la photographie de Arles (2023), the Festival Circulation(s) at 104 (2024), 100% L'EXPO at La Villette (2024), as well as in various group exhibitions at Houloc (2023), the Musée Transitoire (2024) and the Galerie Wonzimer in Los Angeles, USA (2024). His work was the subject of a solo show at the Galerie du Crous, and at the Galerie le POCTB in Orleans in November 2024.

He co-curated the group show Et iels vécurent heureu.x.ses at Dragono in Paris (2021), the exhibition Vestiges at 3537 in Paris (2022) and Au-delà de l'horizon at Consulat Voltaire (2023).
