Nicolas Muller French, 1983
Biographie
"Dans ma pratique, je porte un regard attentif aux gestes discrets, aux empreintes, aux formes d’effacement ou de résistance."
Nicolas Muller (b. 1983, Strasbourg) lives and works in Geneva. Working primarily with drawing and installation, his practice focuses on processes of line repetition, erasure, and transformation. These fragile marks register time, memory, and the presence of the body while also drawing on his early experience of living in close proximity to a prison environment due to his father’s work. This context informs his attention to systems of authority and normative architectures, which he subtly alters and reconfigures.
Through serial, wall-based, and site-specific works, Muller explores how simple actions, such as erasing, fading and imprinting, can shift perception and open spaces between visibility and silence, presence and absence. Within this tension between control and its dissolution, his work seeks to achieve a fragile balance, where absence becomes a form of resistance and the smallest detail, a construction of vision.
Nicolas Muller’s work has been exhibited in several museums and art galleries in France, Germany and Switzerland. He has had residencies in Berlin, at FRAC Champagne-Ardenne and at Villa Le Parc. In 2014, he was exhibited at MAMCO Geneva. He has had solo exhibitions at the Musée Ariana (Geneva) and Galerie Maubert (Paris), and has participated in the art fairs Drawing Now and Artgenève. His works are included in the collections of the Fonds cantonal d’art contemporain of Geneva and the Musée Jenisch in Vevey.
