Jérémy Gobé

Jérémy Gobé who lives and works in Paris, creates highly poetic works by transforming found objects through drawing, sculpture, or textile work.  Gobé new work is inspired by a scene from a 1919 Charlie Chaplin film depicting a comical attempt to assemble a simple beach chair. The installation, which will be created during the artists’ Fountainhead Residency in Miami, will use video, drawing and kinetic sculpture to explore man’s tendency to imbue objects with human consciousness and a will of its own. Gobé was nominated for the prestigious 2015 IDF Prize for drawing awarded to emerging artists and his work was featured in the recent exhibition Le Fil Des Possibles (The thread of the possible) at the L’Espace de l’Art Concret in Toulouse, France. Gobé will debut a new work for bassX, his first exhibition in the United States.
