Benoît Maire

Born in 1978 in Pessac, Benoît Maire is a French artist who lives and works in Bordeaux. Following a degree in Philosophy, he obtained his DNSEP at the Villa Arson in Nice in 2003, before continuing his training in a research unit at the Palais de Tokyo in 2005. His work explores a singular relationship between plastic form and philosophical concept. His current research focuses on the question of measurement. Philosophy thus becomes a calculating relationship that links man and his environment. His work is acclaimed around the world and has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions, including Thebes* at CPAC - Musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux (France) in 2018, at Galerie Meessen in Clerq (Belgium) in 2019, and at Fondazione Volume in Rome (Italy) in 2022. Benoît Maire is represented by galerie Nathalie Obadia (Paris) and galerie Meessen de Clerq (Brussels).
