Artist Statement:
“Times of Crisis” describes the situation we face right now. As ideas remain yet in minds at this stage, this undetermined content keeps us alert while deadlines approach and the underlying panic mixes with the excitement of carrying out this project together. Such a recurring tension might be somehow part of our creative processes.
Quentin Chambry is born in 1989 in Colombes, France and grew up in Rennes, where he started skateboarding and got involved in the local scene by producing visuals for videos and publishing zines. This interest lead him then to study graphic design. After graduating, he had the opportunity to move into a large house with friends, where they set up their studios and started developing their work. They later decided to transform their garage into a proper exhibition space and organized over five years more than 30 events welcoming as many young French and international artists. This project known as Galerie 126, born from the simple desire to meet artists they admired through short residencies, generated intense exchanges that educated and enriched Quentin’s own artistic practice. His work is mainly focused on drawing, which he disseminates in particular through publications and zines, whether they are self-produced or released by publishers such as Éditions Peinture, Super-Structure, FP&CF or Nieves.
Nanook was born in Tokyo and educated in a dormitory system in the mountain side. The artist name comes from the name of the dog that his father met in Alaska. Currently, Nanook is based in Tokyo, working on drawings and paintings.
