An Exclusive Interview With RÉMY BOND

It is a pleasure to interview one of the rising stars in today's contemporary art field, a surprising artist, full of vision, with incredibly unique and sophisticated artworks! Rémy Bond, born in 1983 in Paris, France, dreamed of becoming an astronaut.

As a child, he fantasized about soaring through the black vacuum of space, traveling to distant stars, bounding across the lunar soil, and contemplating the beauty of planet Earth in complete stillness.

Beyond the sun, beyond the ethers, beyond the confines of the starry spheres.

Today Rémy's dream-life has grown into a massive body of creative works of art, made in a high-quality technique, featured in special exhibitions in collaboration with NASA; it takes us into the hallucinatory universe animated by paintings and sculptures of a rare beauty strike us with their essential and pure esthetic quality. The goal is to transport us to a place where time is simply suspended, and conventional modes of perception are disrupted.

Rémy's lunar work uses contemporary codes while questioning the seemingly universal idioms of advertising and pop culture. Commonplace images and objects of our consumerist society are reconfigured in the search for a poetic meaning... Rémy appropriates and radically transforms these symbols, propelling us into a dimension of experience beyond that of our everyday routines.

Remy's artworks shuttle us into a new lunar universe. At the project's core is a series of gigantic portraits of pop culture icons, which appear dressed in NASA space suits, surrounded by cosmic landscapes, whether imaginary or monochromatic. Through these lysergic displacements of imagery, Rémy pays discreet homage to these giants of the public imagination while at the same time questioning their status and influence in our society.
