“My artistic practice often consists in creating with things that already exist,” explains Prosper Legault. Working first and foremost on the city, he first took photographs of illuminated stores at night then started to collect the neon signs themselves, a symbol of the constant agitation of modern cities. With sharp critical creativity, he juxtaposes these urban fragments to give them a new signification in a process of restoration of reality reminding of the aspirations of the 20th-centuryavant-garde movements. “Je te fais marché, (de l’art contemporain)” displays the poetic, humoristic, both tender and disillusioned outlook of the artist on his close surroundings and the modern way of life.
Born in 1994 in Bordeaux, France
A graduate from the École Boulle, Prosper Legault first learned to work on wood and metal during his professional experiences in craftsmanship and industry while doing graffiti in the meantime. He now is a plastic artist who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2020.He lives and works in Saint-Ouen. Co-founder of the art space “La Volonté 93”with, among others, Alexander Raczka and Antwan Horfee, he also wrote two collections of songs in collaboration with musicians published by the label REDLEBANESE. He participated in several group exhibitions and presented his work in a solo show at the gallery of the Crous in Paris in 2019.
