Edgar SARIN

Edgar Sarin was born in Marseille in 1989. He lives and works in Paris. His work reflects the formal search for political and environmental harmony, of which man would be the catalyst. Edgar Sarin has been noted for his work on the generative ruin and for his questioning of the exhibition space. He established, a few years ago, that it is a matter of considering the viewer from the moment he stops being one; thus, placing himself in a Mediterranean lineage of the conception of the work of art. His work is thus developed by porosity with the environment. He defends an approach that favors learning about the world and the material — a reasoned form of the creative gesture — which he develops in a plural and precise sculptural corpus.

Edgar Sarin is also the founder of the research group La Méditerranée, with which he organizes collective exhibitions in Paris. He is exhibiting works at Paris + by Art Basel with the Michel Rein gallery.

Exhibited at Private Choice in 2017 and 2018, Edgar Sarin returns for the 2022 edition with: an unprecedented selection of paintings
