Yoan Sorin is a French multidisciplinary artist based in Arles. He works in drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, video and performance, giving each medium equal weight. Sorin’s projects start in densely filled sketchbooks and evolve into what he calls “exploded mythologies”: precise reconstructions of personal and cultural stories that he tears apart and rebuilds. By collaging everyday images, slogans and found objects, he deliberately erases borders between high art and popular culture, and between finished artwork and fleeting gesture, making each piece read like a diary entry laid open to the public.

Help Us Grow
We are committed to building UntitledDb as a long-term, open-contribution visual art database, and subscriptions are what keep that commitment viable.
For something like the price of one bottle of artisanal water each month, a Pro or Enterprise subscription signals your support for this project and gives you access to useful perks like profile-claiming, edit control, advanced analytics, and more, while also giving you a direct say in how we evolve the platform and what gets built next.

What is UntitledDb?
UntitledDb is the collaborative visual art database.
Artists: keep one up-to-date profile that evolves with your practice, instead of managing scattered sites and links. Curators: reduce research drift, follow emerging work, map collaboration networks, and assemble proposal material in one place. Exhibition spaces: document each show as a searchable record that lifts your artists’ visibility and makes it easier for curators, writers, and collectors to find them.
Browse freely. Create your profile with a free account. Upgrade to Pro or Enterprise for profile verification & claiming, edit control, and analytics.
