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.
