SAO PAULO.- Creuzet joins the gallery at an exciting moment ahead of the 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, where the artist will represent the Pavilion of France.

“I am Caribbean and I feel close to Brazil and this area called Latin America. I have the feeling of having an imagination in common with the artistic line of the Mendes Wood DM Gallery. The issues that runs through my practice as historical, social, economic and ecological can find echoes together worldwide. Its international dimension will allow me to be accompanied in the most beautiful way. This upcoming year will bring guidance and supportship in a national & international way, through different projects that I’m grateful to take part in.” – Julien Creuzet

Born in 1986, Julien Creuzet is a Franco-Caribbean artist who lives and works in Montreuil. He creates protean works that incorporate poetry, music, sculpture, assemblage, cinema and animation. In his evocation of multiple timescales of transoceanic postcolonial interchanges, the artist places his past, present, and future legacy at the center of his work. Ignoring global narratives and cultural reductionism, Creuzet’s work often spotlights anachronisms and social realities with the aim of building irreducible objects.

Julien Creuzet’s work will be staged successively in Mendes Wood DM Brussels, São Paulo and Paris locations. The first solo exhibition will take place in Brussels in 2025. Julien Creuzet is also represented by Andrew Kreps Gallery in New York and Document Space in Chicago.

Mendes Wood DM was founded in São Paulo in 2010 by Felipe Dmab, Matthew Wood, and Pedro Mendes to exhibit international and Brazilian artists in a context conducive to critical dialogue and the cross-pollination of ideas. Inspired by a belief that artistic practices broaden the scope of human agency and have the power to change the world, the gallery cultivates a program premised on conceptualism, political resistance, and intellectual rigor. Central to the program is a concern for regional difference and individuation while still fostering cosmopolitanism and collaboration.
