About
Adrien is a Portland-based visual and sound artist, born in Paris, France. Formerly based in Canada, he has produced conceptual works in collaboration with Montreal’s DIY arts community, incubating around one of the community spaces at the northern limit of Montreal’s Mile End district. His work focuses on exploring the dynamic convergence of subjective perceptions of harmony and chaos; fostering an approach to visual art that is both visceral and cerebral.
