Antonin Anzil

Antonin Anzil brings paper, renamed so white, so calm, volumes, abstract forms, sometimes even geometric. By highlighting all the material qualities of the paper, his predilection material, he invites us to reconsider it each in his own way, and according to his own imagination to discover cottony, air or even cartographic landscapes. A decisive interest in engraving Born in 1988 in Blois, Antonin Anzil lives and works in Paris. A graduate of the European School of Image of Poitiers in 2010, and the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris in 2012, he then worked at the Francis Kurkdjian house creation studio until 2017. Lover of paper, Antonin Anzil surrounded himself with a beautiful figure in the matter, François Verdier. This engraver makes him discover a technique, tools and papers that Antonin still uses today for the creation of his bas-reliefs.
