Born in Buenos Aires and currently residing in Edmonton, AB, Christian Pérès Gibaut’s work is a profound dialogue with the essence of painting and sculpture. His practice delves into the interrogation of materiality and form, with an emphasis on the artistic process and the raw character of the materials. The emergent work defies conventional interpretations, inviting viewers into a space of critical engagement and contemplation.

Woven into the fabric of his work are the rich textures of Pérès Gibaut’s mixed heritage, a multicultural tapestry that includes his experience as an immigrant. His art forges temporal bridges, reviving the whispers of bygone epochs and places. His approach to creation is marked by a deviation from the traditional, embracing serendipity and the physical act of making.

Pérès Gibaut’s art is a conduit for reconnecting with the elusive past, inviting viewers to traverse their own memories and histories alongside his. His unique utilization of materials and techniques reflects a minimalist intervention, allowing the medium's inherent properties and accidental occurrences to direct the artwork’s final form.
