Samuel Boutrouche
Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Samuel Boutrouche. Born in 1979 in Avranches (FR), Samuel is a French artist and co-founder of the Kolkoz collective. Having studied photography, as well as experimented with computer generated images and video games, Boutruche has always been attracted by technical images, their applications and influences. As co-founder of the art collective Kolkoz, he has referenced numerous forms of technology, with a Pop twist. Since his first work in the early 1990s, he has constantly played - literally and figuratively - with the effects of simulation. Each of his works represents a duality - of a reality, a person or a form - created by modelling. He currently lives and works in Paris and will be staying at Studio Amarillo during June 2021.
