A graduate of the Beaux-Arts d'Orléans, he taught there for five years before joining the Beaux-Arts de Blois. Sculptor, draughtsman, filmmaker and performer, he develops series of watercolour drawings of objects at life scale: Petits canons, Grands canons, Sténopodes, Pliables. A graduate of the Beaux-arts d’Orléans, where he taught for five years before taking a teaching post at the Beaux-arts de Blois, Alain Biet draws, for the series Grands Canons, in watercolour and at life scale, every object that ‘comes home’ – a kind of ethnographic levelling that can be selected and classified by category and shown according to the specific features of exhibition venues. This ever-expanding ensemble now comprises some 8000 drawings, and has been the subject of an experimental animated film produced by Girelle Production. © Alain Biet, Ronds, ronds Constellation, 2004-2023.
