Auguste

French　1977

Born in Bordeaux, France, in 1977, Auguste defines the spirit of creation, which is to find a common memory for "alternation of generations." He concentrates on the elements of mass media culture, especially American superstars, Marvel heroes, brand trademarks, which resonance different eras. He utilizes symbols of popular entertainment to rearrange the imagination of the word "classic" in the mainstream culture in Europe and America. He makes good use of mixed media, transfers layers of images, and applies saturated colors. Finally, he employs glossy and transparent paint on the picture to bring a unique modernity. Cut in a shape of an aluminum plate, the work highlights the puzzle-shaped characters, thus echoing a strong concept of the mind memory, “memory pieces.”
