Étienne Rey
Visual artist
Étienne Rey, a visual artist based in Marseille and resident of the Friche Belle de Mai, has a background that includes studies in Fine Arts, a post-graduate degree in architecture, and training in mathematics and physics at the Cnam. His interdisciplinary approach to art explores the intersections between space, structure and perception.
His work is represented by Galerie Denise René in Paris. His works are exhibited in art centers and at digital art festivals for exhibition pieces, and in public spaces or via private commissions for perennial works. For him, creating site-specific installations means reinterpreting spaces, transforming habitual perceptions through the specific use of light, whether natural or artificial. His work aims to distort and enrich the viewer's sensory experience, highlighting physical and natural phenomena that underscore the organizing and structuring principles of space, time and movement. Each of his installations is a visual, kinesthetic and auditory exploration, turning space into a place for perception and active reflection.
