Born in 1989 in Marseille. Lives and works in Paris.


The artist approach of the exhibition and his research for a primordial gesture make Edgar Sarin one of the most singular artists of his generation. His two favorite medium, painting and sculpture, tend to unify in the exhibition space to become an “architectural experience”.

“Objectif: société” is the name given by the artist to a major cycle of research on exhibitions recently celebrated by the release of a monographic publication (2024, Éditions Manuella) with texts by Donatien Grau, Mouna Mekouar, Jean-Marie Gallais, Jean-Pierre Criqui, Éric de Chassey... “Objectif : société” thus speaks of mankind, in its relationship to the world and to nature; offering a repertoire of forms and techniques specific to the artist: artworks are born in ”a mechanism very close to life [...] Nature tries out different paths, perpetuates the ones that work.”...
