Gwendal Coulon’s artistic practice – whether it be performance, painting, drawing, installation or video – is certainly a step aside, or rather a nose-thumbing. His proposals are never really intended to be cynical or deceptive, but on the contrary, tend to reveal certain natures. By shifts, references and detour, he studies the conditions of the act of creation while inscribing poetic elements. Thus seeking to reveal the flaws and the staging of the artist and his world. His practice of performance calls for similar gestures: playback, quotation, theatricalization and humor are the tools of a research on the « concert » event, its codes, its aesthetics and its context. He develops a reflection on the performative stakes that link the spectator and the musician (performer). These interventions are accompanied by accessories that he produces: scarves, drawings, paintings, lights, sculptures, videos, etc. These objects are activated during the performances and find – in a second time – their place within the exhibition space.
