Gaspar Willmann (b. 1995, Paris) graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts de Lyon. He lives and works in Paris. Through a practice combining painting and video, both sharing a common attention to editing and appropriation, Gaspar Willmann highlights our modes of image consumption, their processes of circulation, as well as their affective and collective charge.
