RODRIGUE GREGO Contemporary Plastic Artist Rodrigue Grego is a French artist born in Metz on June 26, 1962. He lives and works in Paris. The world of this artist is defined by its uniqueness and boundless creativity. It is in the tradition of the original artists. The journey expressed in his works takes its inspiration from various cultures, especially the Indonesian culture. He likes to carve and transform animal skulls in order to give them a new life. It diverts the objects from their original environment, as he does surprisingly with crocodile skulls. His cinematic inspiration is reflected in his designs, bringing a surreal dimension to his work. His artistic universe is not limited to sculpture, but also extended to photography. Rodrigue Grego is also making his way in the decoration field, by revisiting furnitures to create real ornaments. Rodrigue Grego has this ability to transform, beautify and give its atypical works a second breath of life, based on unique technical skills (chasing, assembly modeling) and a variety of materials such as glass, leather, metal, bone, allowing each of its achievements to be unexpected, unprecedented… Rodrigue Grego lives between Paris and Indonesia. His works are exhibited at the Galerie des 3 terminals - 9 city of Three terminals Paris XI - and Metis Bali in Bali, Indonesia.
