François Malingrëy’s work takes the human body as its primary stage. In a taut hyperrealism, exposed flesh becomes the arena where ancestral passions are replayed: desire and guilt, gentleness and violence, brotherhood and rivalry. Anchored in an apparently ordinary setting, these scenes are traversed by an intensity that verges on the liturgical. Reality expands into something grand, as if the figures were caught mid- aria, at the very moment when intimate drama takes on an almost mystical dimension.
Born in 1989, François Malingrëy graduated from the École des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg in 2013. In 2015, he participated in the 60th Salon de Montrouge and received the Prix du Conseil Général des Hauts-de-Seine. His work has since been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy, the Palais de Tokyo, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature (Paris), the Museo Villa dei Cedri (Bellinzona, Switzerland), and the Fondation Pierre et Poppy Salinger (Le Thor, France).
