Born in 1990 in Nice, where he lives and works. Graduate of the DNSEP (2016) from the Pavillon Bosio, École supérieure d’arts plastiques de la ville de Monaco, after a DNAP with the jury’s congratulations (2014). He works in duo with Camille Franch-Guerra and alone, across painting, writing and performance. Evan Bourgeau works in duo with Camille Franch-Guerra and alone. He moves across as many media as lines of research, as many materials as theories that animate, in his thinking, questions that are anthropogenic, metaphysical, or moral and cultural. Attached to the word and to writing: semantics is a passage inherent to his creative process, for writing is bound up with wandering. This wandering is also found in his poetic works, focused on everyday life, desire, love, empathy or nostalgia. Through his latest research and introspection, paintings have been made, paintings in which emptiness, and the attempt both to avoid it and to fill it, are inscribed in a connection between mind, hand and support, following a state known as ‘symbiotic’ in which the body is thus put to the test… Like a meditative moment, the hand would metaphorically represent ‘the dreaming eye’, and colour an immediate interpretation of the unconscious. ‘It is a kind of jealousy, in a way, coming from the infini-ème. And so as not to remain fixed, stunned, I then nurture this jealousy and express it, since jealousy precedes imagination; it goes beyond sight. Then I can touch the infinite with thought and represent the perpetual death and rebirth of all things circulating around being, in desire. Not stunned.’
