CÉDRIC BOUTEILLER – BIOGRAPHY
Born in 1970 in Rognac, Cédric Bouteiller is an artist who lives and works in the south of France. In high school, he turned toward illustration and graphic experimentation, inspired by artists like Gustav Klimt and Salvador Dalí. Gradually, he began working with painted materials, developing a passion for texture, which he manipulates with a palette knife or spatula.
During his first year studying art history, he devoted himself entirely to painting, abandoning drawing. His approach is simple: color, material, and movement. “We had to forget the illustrative gesture, its academic codes, its opposites, and its limits—to move closer to painting. A painting that turned out to be abstract, even though I didn’t know the meaning of the word at the time.” For him, pure figuration remains embodied by photography.
Today, photography and painting overlap in his work, coexisting within a single piece.
Often compared to an alchemist, Bouteiller experiments with oxidation, hardening, and evaporation. Even the smallest residue can nourish his paintings. His studio—filled with drawing tables, pigments, digital cards, and art books—is a true creative chaos that fuels his imagination.
A world-renowned artist, he has exhibited in Paris, Bordeaux, Mykonos, Athens, Venice, Los Angeles, New York, and Shanghai. Coming from a working-class family, he was a rebellious young boy, passionate about drawing. His training in industrial design taught him to master geometry, dimensions, and spatial forms—elements that still influence his work today.
