Biography

Aurelien Froment, originally from Angers, France, has been living in Scotland since 2016 after spending eight years in Dublin. He studied at the École Régionale des Beaux-Arts in Nantes and graduated in 2000. His artistic practice is deeply rooted in film, exploring structure, language, materials, experience, and space. His work channels histories of concrete utopias, examining the borders of modernity. Froment’s research manifests in large-scale photographic installations and films designed for small theatres, with notable projects including 'Théâtre optique' (2021) and 'Shadows Ideas' (2016). His work has been showcased in numerous international exhibitions and is housed in several prestigious permanent collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and MACBA in Barcelona.
