The artist was born in 1970 in Saint-Claude; he now lives and works in Dijon.
Lilian Bourgeat’s work is mainly characterised by the use of play and farce. Imbued with the artist’s sense of humour, his oversized and colourful “hyper realistic” objects are in fact visual traps that disrupt the spectator’s perception. Firstly amused by their playful aspect, we quickly realise our eyes have been tricked, as confusion arises.
The large scale of these objects keeps them at the limit between possible functionality and excessiveness. Although they reveal through their transformation a unique formal quality, it is the disarming situations their potential use could create that lie at the heart of Lilan Bourgeat’s work.
