Born in Champagne-Ardenne in 1994, Théo Romain studied for a year at the Athens School of Fine Arts in 2006 in order to get formed on the new techniques like marble sculpture in direct cut technique. In 2018, he graduated from the École Supérieure d’Art of Dunkerque-Tourcoing and in 2019, as part of the TRIPLE A scheme, he has become an artist accompanied by la malterie. The same year, he resided in the former Synagogue of Forbach in Moselle, in the premises of Castel Coucou during a Franco-Roumanian artist-in-residence program. Since 2015, he has been exposing his work during personal and collective exhibitions in Paris, Lille, Denain, Calais and Besançon. After undertaking his practice around drawing and of its different modalities of presentation, his artistic approach headed towards volume and installation, leading to a more engaged reflection about political and social questions. His reflection hinges on notions of trace, memory, power and dignity. In his work, he is questioning the security obsessions of our contemporary societies so as to expose their limits. He is questioning our relation to violent images, whether physical or digital, and to the interactions they produce on our individual and collective memories. Sensitive to the narrative context of a territory or a place, he shows a particular interest in historical facts or of currents affairs which he confronts with different symbolisms of form in order to establish a sensitive dialogue between the object and its history.
