Damien Moulierac

Born in 1990 in Montauban, Damien Moulierac lives and works in Saint-Denis. He studied at the Atelier de Sèvres, then at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

His work is driven by themes of memory and recollections blurred by the passage of time. The artist captures the process of their evaporation by replaying his fragmented reminiscences, with his works acting as reverse sediments of an erratic memory. Armed with a gentle candor, the flower-monster materializes the disillusionments of happy love. Melancholy also grafts itself onto other biographical eras. He sculpts and draws the intimate regret of a joy just ended, the dying epiphany of an emptied party. Thus, the colorful garlands finish their fall, and found underwear lie amidst the pleasurable vapors. Damien manages to freeze that precise moment—the realization that the party is over, the one that barely precedes the tumbling cascade of exhausted dopamine. Alongside his artistic activity, he also develops a practice as a set designer and head prop master.
