Edgar Sarin

Edgar Sarin was born in Marseille in 1989. He lives and works in Paris. His work reflects a formal search for political and environmental harmony, with man as the catalyst. Edgar Sarin has been noted for his work on generative ruin and his questioning of the exhibition space. A few years ago, he established that the viewer should be considered from the moment he ceases to be one, thus following a Mediterranean line in the conception of the work of art. His work is thus developed through 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 founder of the research group La Méditerranée, with which he organizes group exhibitions in Paris. His work is exhibited in Paris + by Art Basel with Galerie Michel Rein.

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