gael froget

Born in Mauritius in 1986, Gael Froget is a self-taught artist renewing his identity each day. His art transcends geographic and cultural barriers, carving itself in present-dayness. Since his first solo exhibition in 2013, Gael has built a solid rep- utation in Mauritius and made his way in the local art community and has gained recognition and respect as one of the most promising Mauritian artists of the new generation. Love is Real, his second solo exhibition in 2015 was such a success that it was sold-out. His artworks are bought by both local and foreign art connoisseurs and Gael’s works have now travelled the world.
After his Love is Real exhibition in 2015, Gael’s obsession was to resume a series of work he created and named Art Vandalism in 2011. The series started with a set of ads and various photographs stolen from magazines that he then distorted, customized and vandalized and made it his very own. The new generation of Art Vandalism series (2015) is a much re ned work with digitally distorted photo- graphs printed on ne art paper then vandalized using his traditional paints, pastels, sprays and inks.
