France

Léo Caillard is a multi-disciplinary visual artist who lives and works in Paris.

Fascinated since childhood by science, astronomy, time and our relationship to it, he brings to it a conceptual and artistic reflection. Through the use of anachronism and the natural curiosity it arouses, the artist leads the public towards a questioning of the times, in the light of our past.

After graduating from Gobelins in 2006, he leaves for the United States to study the New York art scene. In 2009, he begins his first projects around the notion of Time, culminating two years later in his photographic series “Hispters in Stone”, in which he dresses up classical sculptures exhibited at the Louvre. Gradually, marble sculpture takes a prominent place in his work, which he puts in dialogue with contemporary elements like neon or augmented reality. In March 2018, he participates in “Classical Now” exhibition at King’s College London, alongside major artists such as Marc Quinn or Damien Hirst.

For the past two years, Léo Caillard has been making a name for himself on the emerging NFT market with several digital creations.
