Aurèle
Biography
Aurèle Ricard, known as Aurèle, a post-industrial visual artist became known to the art world at the end of the 1980s following his meeting with Andy Warhol.
It claims the artistic heritage of the latter as well as that of Fernand Léger, Yves Klein, Joseph Beuys and Robert Malaval while adding a singularly different political, social and ecological dimension. In 1986, while making his first trip to New York, he randomly discovered on a street the poster of a lost dog “Bob the lost dog".
Since Aurèle works, develops and declines the idea of the lost dog. A true totem, he is the prism through which Aurèle has chosen to radiate his message.
His work produced on various media, draws on the history of art, the history of society: its consumption, its advertising, its pollution, and in its own history expressed in turn by photography, video, sculpture, lithographs, installations and assemblages of all kinds.
