Bruce
MERITTE
Biography
In 2009, following the death of Michael Jackson, he had the idea of taking photos of his collection of figurines, which he had collected over the years at flea markets and garage sales with his mother. He owns more than 500, ranging from Marlon Brando to Barack Obama, Daft Punk, and Frank Sinatra. He named this project I LOVE ART, staging his figurines in large-format photographs to catch the attention of those who discover them. These images always offer a double meaning, often imperceptible at first glance. This makes them mysterious to anyone who wants to understand them. He often says that in art, you have to spend a little time in front of the work to allow the emotion that the artist wanted to convey to emerge.
Today, he is unveiling a new chapter in his career: artPhone, a post-pop art project born from the alliance between his prolific imagination and artificial intelligence. Each creation, hybrid and unique, revisits the masterpieces of art history by slipping a telephone into the hand of the subject, a universal symbol of our connected era.
With more than 300 works created, Bruce Meritte likes to describe artPhone as “the world's largest museum” More than just a phrase, this vision reflects the ambition of a project that transforms everyday objects into works of art and challenges our relationship with images, somewhere between homage, provocation, and fascination.
Exhibited in prestigious venues such as the Grand Palais, the Modern Art Fair during Art Basel, the largest street art fair in Paris, and soon to be included in Artcurial sales, artPhone is asserting its place in the contemporary art scene.
An iconoclastic and protean creator, Bruce Meritte does not follow trends: he precedes and reinvents them.
