Clovis Retif is a French visual artist and art director based in Paris. After studying product design at Saint-Luc in Belgium, he worked for two years in global design in Paris. He then moved to Montreal, where he devoted himself to drawing. In 2019, he exhibited his first personal series of drawings, “Solitude Contemporaine,” at Galerie Luz.
In 2022, back in Paris, his work took an important turn with the introduction of color and a more instinctive and personal approach to drawing, combining paint and pastel. He quickly expanded his technique to new media, such as vintage clothing, glazed pottery, furniture, and even murals. His themes are varied, but he always seeks to tell a story, whether it be about forgotten historical figures or fictional characters. He explores these subjects mainly through the representation of objects and symbols, focusing on the sacralization of objects, their transformation into relics, as well as memory and our perception of reality.
