After studying at the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts and working for ten years as a graphic designer, Thomas founded Kencre studio in Lille in 2017. Atelier Kencre is an independent space dedicated to artistic creation, production, publishing, and dissemination, based in the Lille metropolitan area.<\/p>\n
Working at the crossroads of contemporary art, publishing, and craftsmanship, the studio develops projects that bring together artistic practices and hands-on production. Its expertise has been recognised through the French \u201cArtisan d\u2019Art\u201d designation, awarded in recognition of its craft-based practice and savoir-faire.<\/p>\n
Kencre works closely with artists to conceive and produce original editions, with particular attention to the quality of production, the singularity of each project, and the ways in which it can reach and engage audiences. The gallery is an integral part of this approach, presenting a selection of artists and works from diverse backgrounds and graphic practices. Through exhibitions and editions, Kencre seeks to encourage the discovery of distinctive contemporary practices and to create spaces for encounters between artists, their work, and the public.<\/p>\n
This commitment forms part of a broader approach to supporting artists throughout the different stages of a project\u2014from conception and production to publishing and dissemination. A fully equipped screen-printing workshop within the studio is central to this process, creating a direct and continuous connection between artistic development, production, and presentation.<\/p>\n
Through this hybrid approach, Atelier Kencre contributes to the visibility and circulation of contemporary art by supporting projects that are accessible while remaining artistically ambitious. At the heart of its practice is a close, long-term relationship with artists, built on dialogue, trust, and a shared commitment to the quality and uniqueness of each project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1036,"featured_media":129037,"template":"","taxo_mouvement":[85,61],"taxo_technique":[94,96,49,51],"taxo_year_participe":[144],"taxo_type_d_exposants":[],"class_list":["post-128657","gallery","type-gallery","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
