Vincent Barré
Sculptor, architect and filmmaker Vincent Barré has maintained a central presence in the French cultural scene for over 50 years. Barré studied in Philadelphia under American architect Louis Khan, before working with the architecture firm Barton Myers in Edmonton and Toronto in the 1970s. Upon returning to Paris, he devoted his practice to sculpture and became known for cast iron and bronze constructions that relate human form to architecture and landscape. His large-scale sculpture can be found in the public and private spaces of France, Germany, and China. Born in Vierzon, France in 1948, Barré lives and works in Paris, Normandy, and Loiret.
Pierre Creton
Pierre Creton, born in 1966 in Seine-Maritime, is an artist and filmmaker. He was a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre. In 1991, after graduating, he became a farm worker, taking on a range of jobs from beekeeping to herding cattle, which led him to make films about the master/slave dynamic and the relationship between humans and animals. He lives and works in Normandy in the Pays de Caux region which he never tires of capturing and filming. He has made around twenty films, all shown at FIDMarseille and at numerous other international film festivals. Since 2020 he has been working as a freelance gardener for Maison Lambert.
