Romain Dumesnil (Rouen, France, 1989) lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he previously studied at the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage (EAV Parque Lage). He co-founded the independent art space Átomos in Rio de Janeiro in 2015. Dumesnil’s sculptures, paintings, installations and videos explore the continuum of tangible materialities and invisible forces that composes the world. Weaving relationships between multiple repertoires, from micro to macro, from the accidental to the formal, from the inanimate to the living, in a perpetual game of hybridization, his works function as experiential catalysts of the surrounding reality. His previous solo exhibitions include projects presented at Fundação Ema Klabin (Brazil), Kubik Gallery and Cavalo Gallery (Portugal/Brazil), 6B Cultural Center (France), Temiorae Art Center (South Korea), Galerie SCEP (France), Zip’up project (Brazil). Dumesnil has also participated in several group shows in institutions and galleries such as Pivô (São Paulo, BR), FAAP (São Paulo, BR), Villa Arson (Nice, FR), Fundação Iberê Camargo (Porto Alegre, BR), Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris, FR), Gentil Carioca Gallery (Rio de Janeiro, BR), Oscar Niemeyer Museum of Contemporary Art (Curitiba, BR), Fondation Fiminco (Paris, FR).
