Luciano de Kooch was born in Ahmedabad and now lives between Vladivostok and Osaka. He was in residence at the Quebec University of Montreal until 2010. It was after an immersion in the favelas of Porto Alegre that this multidisciplinary artist decided to dedicate himself to collages. His work has been the subject of early solo exhibitions: "Deconstructing William Turner" (Gallery 23, Amsterdam), "Genre(s) / gender" (Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery), and "Experience" (Nathalie Obadia Gallery).

How to envision a new approach to art while exploring the paradoxes that surround it? In her work titled "Proto-fabrication," the artist Luciano de Kooch engages in a deep reflection on movement, thus questioning the very foundations of our artistic perception. Through a resolutely multipolar and deliberately unstructured approach, her critical project urgently reminds us of the importance of exploring the oxymoronic self, this duality that inhabits us. "Proto-fabrication" tirelessly works to reinvent the posture we adopt in the face of the fabricating action, fitting into a lineage that finds its roots in the works of Helmut Viala. Drawing inspiration from the reflections of Alain Damasio, Luciano de Kooch manages to hint at the prototypes of a transcendence that, although fleeting, invites renewed contemplation. Thus, the work unfolds as a space for dialogue where ideas intertwine and confront each other, opening the way to a multitude of interpretations and feelings.
