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.
In 2024, Creuzet represented France at the 60th Venice Biennale. In 2022, Creuzet received the Etants Donnés Prize. In 2021, the artist was nominated for the Marcel Duchamp Prize and received the BMW Art Journey Award. He received the Camden Arts Centre Emerging Artist Prize at Frieze in 2019.
