Yoan Sorin

We are happy to present a new series of visual essays by contemporary artists, specially designed for Art Viewer. Our first essay features Yoan Sorin’s work “Household,” in which the artist gives insights into the patterns he finds in his working processes and mechanisms.

Through an intimate and colorful approach, the artist creates capturing environments that resonate with personal meaning, utilizing materials and objects from the lives of friends and family that he uses to invoke their presence as witnesses to his work. For the artist, there is always a search between his intimacy and the place where his work takes shape.

We intend to bring you a new visual essay in each installment that reflects the diversity of artists’ work today.
