Grégory Watin is a French artist, born in 1976. He lives and works on Arras.
Due to its origins, his work is strongly filled by the labor world: the people, the places, the materials. In a society where appearance and the abstract dominates, the destitution of its paintings and its approach amazes. Being inspired by the arte povera and by the pop art, he chooses the raw material, that of the construction sites of workers, as receptacle of symbols and icons of the modern world. His collages of raw elements, associated with printed plates of plexiglasse question our current relationshiph with consumption and image.
