French-born artist Julien Creuzet intertwines practices as a visual artist and poet through amalgams of sculpture, film, installation, and textual intervention. Describing Martinique, where the artist spent formative childhood years, as “the heart of my imagination,” Creuzet often addresses diasporic cultural experiences and post-colonial exchanges. Drawing from influences such as the poetic and philosophical reflections of Aimé Césaire and Édouard Glissant , Creuzet’s intellectual engagement with origins and alterity bridges celebratory, emancipatory, and critical expressions at the intersection of Caribbean history and European modernity. Julien Creuzet (b. 1986 in Le Blanc-Mesnil, France) lives and works in Montreuil. Creuzet represented France at the 60th Biennale di Venezia , Venice (2024) , with Attila cataracte ta source aux pieds des pitons verts finira dans la grande mer, curated by Céline Kopp and Cindy Sissokho.
