A visual artist and poet, Julien Creuzet actively intertwines these two practices via amalgams of sculpture, installation, and textual intervention that frequently address his own diasporic experience. Inspired by the poetic and philosophical reflections of Aimé Césaire and Édouard Glissant on creolization and migration, Creuzet’s work focuses on the troubled intersection of the history of Martinique and the events of European modernity.
Creuzet is the recipient of the 2022 Etants Donnés Prize, the 2021 BMW Art Journey Award, the 2019 Camden Arts Centre Emerging Artist Prize at Frieze and nominated in 2021 for the Marcel Duchamp Prize.
He will be representing France at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024 and has currently a solo show at the Magasin CNAC in Grenoble, France.
