Nicolas Guilbert

Born in 1958 in Paris, an illustrator since his adolescence and until the mid- 90s, Nicolas Guilbert had his first Parisian exhibition in 1984. Since then, he has published several books of drawings and exhibited in various Parisian galleries, the numerous facets of a very graphic pictorial body of work, which has always privileged the stroke, and paper supports. He has combined paintings, drawings and photographs which led to several exhibitions in Paris, between 2004 and 2009.
Since 2010, his photographic work on “humanimality” has been the subject of two books and of several exhibitions specifically in the Musée de la Chasse, in Paris, and in Arles, in the Rencontres de la Photographie in 2011. Currently engaged in several projects under way, in various cities in Europe, he will publish at the end of the year Paris/Paradis in the Editions Flammarion, a photographic journal, poetical and amusing, covering thirty-five years of his Parisian life.
