Nicolas Lebrun est n\u00e9 en 1985 \u00e0 Carpentras (France). Dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 de l’\u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier, il vit et travaille dans cette ville depuis ses \u00e9tudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apr\u00e8s une premi\u00e8re p\u00e9riode (2009-2015) consacr\u00e9e aux installations interactives questionnant la mat\u00e9rialit\u00e9 et la relation \u0153uvre\/spectateur, sa pratique \u00e9volue vers des s\u00e9ries syst\u00e9matiques fond\u00e9es sur l’usage de protocoles de cr\u00e9ation rigoureux. Ces protocoles permettent \u00e0 ses programmes d’exister comme cr\u00e9ations autonomes et accessibles, se d\u00e9ployant sous des formes prot\u00e9iformes : num\u00e9riques\/globales, physiques\/locales, ou hybrides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Son travail explore principalement la perception humaine de l’espace et les techniques de repr\u00e9sentation de la profondeur sur un plan bidimensionnel. \u00c0 travers le dessin comme moyen de recherche formelle, il d\u00e9veloppe un lexique r\u00e9current : cubes empil\u00e9s \u00e9voquant les compositions supr\u00e9matistes, rendus filaires \u00e0 l’esth\u00e9tique r\u00e9tro, enchev\u00eatrements polygonaux. Cette apparente \u00e9conomie formelle devient le terrain d’une r\u00e9invention constante des processus d’alt\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chaque projet fonctionne comme un syst\u00e8me dot\u00e9 d’un \u00e9tat initial et d’un processus de transformation qui fige finalement la composition. Ces mutations rev\u00eatent un aspect ambivalent : elles alt\u00e8rent pour construire ou d\u00e9truire, parfois cr\u00e9ant du nouveau par la destruction m\u00eame. Cet int\u00e9r\u00eat pour l’alt\u00e9ration d’une composition fait \u00e9cho \u00e0 notre rapport aux images et au r\u00e9el dans l’espace m\u00e9diatique contemporain. Ainsi, chacune de ses exp\u00e9riences et chaque variation qu’elle produit peuvent \u00eatre consid\u00e9r\u00e9es comme un point de vue, une perception ou une d\u00e9formation de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Cette transformation de l’image \u00e9voque une d\u00e9composition ou d\u00e9multiplication d’un r\u00e9el plus global \u2014 celui de la science, de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 ou de l’histoire. Parfois, les compositions sont elles-m\u00eames des empilements, des strates o\u00f9 plusieurs processus op\u00e8rent simultan\u00e9ment, cr\u00e9ant des juxtapositions de formes, un amalgame de diff\u00e9rentes perceptions. L’artiste place ainsi le spectateur dans une tension entre plusieurs points de vue qui participent \u00e0 d\u00e9construire le r\u00e9el, \u00e0 le faire diverger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ses recherches approfondissent la question des relations d’interd\u00e9pendance entre les \u00e9l\u00e9ments : comment une forme se d\u00e9finit-elle par sa relation aux autres, comment les contraintes structurelles g\u00e9n\u00e8rent-elles de nouvelles possibilit\u00e9s expressives ? Ses projets explorent les ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes de superposition, d’enchev\u00eatrement et de passage, o\u00f9 chaque \u00e9l\u00e9ment n’existe que par et dans sa relation \u00e0 l’ensemble. En multipliant les strates et les perspectives au sein d’une m\u00eame composition, son travail refl\u00e8te la condition contemporaine de l’image : cette accumulation de repr\u00e9sentations qui se superposent, se contredisent et finissent par constituer un \u00e9cran autant qu’une fen\u00eatre sur le r\u00e9el. Ses \u0153uvres t\u00e9moignent ainsi de la difficult\u00e9 croissante \u00e0 discerner une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 stable sous le flux continu des interpr\u00e9tations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nJ\u2019ai, pendant vingt ans environ, produit avec beaucoup d\u2019obstination des \u0153uvres syst\u00e9matiques dont la ligne de conduite a \u00e9t\u00e9 de r\u00e9duire au minimum mes d\u00e9cisions arbitraires. Pour limiter ma sensibilit\u00e9 d\u2019\u00ab Artiste \u00bb, j\u2019ai supprim\u00e9 la composition, enlev\u00e9 tout int\u00e9r\u00eat \u00e0 l\u2019ex\u00e9cution et appliqu\u00e9 rigoureusement des syst\u00e8mes simples et \u00e9vidents qui peuvent se d\u00e9velopper, soit gr\u00e2ce au hasard r\u00e9el, soit gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la participation du spectateur.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
