Chris Calvet

French visual artist born in 1979. Very early passionate about artistic creation. Nature and the elements (materials, lights, colors, shapes, etc.) gave it a taste for discovery and adventure, this open -mindedness on the world defines its current work. Discovery of art craftsmanship at her lifelong friend Lyseth, together they meet Hassan Massoudy and collaborate in the creation of engravings on plaque, from the age of 19 years. The adventure, during long trips to China in particular, open up to it perspectives towards what today is obvious, calligraphy. Noticed by Starter Gallery, he will have the opportunity in 2015 to spend several weeks in residence in one of the most important museums in Chengdu (city of 14 million inhabitants) to exhibit in three Chengdu museums and experience his technique with great international artists like Xuliaoyuan, Qiu Guangping… Always open to the world, his approach is simple, daily work allows learning and mastery of gesture, which he works hard with his teacher Alexandra Laneve. This is how the series "Signs" was born which earned him international recognition today. Find the interview with Chris Calvet on Kazoart's blog!
