Adrien Boyer

A French artist born in 1979, Adrien Boyer lives in Paris.

Self-taught, his work was exhibited for the first time in 2009. In 2011 he completed a series on Jerusalem in the context of a residency spent at the Ecole Biblique et Archéologique Française. In 2015 his series on Paris entitled “l’esprit des lieux” [the spirit of places] was the subject of a first book published by Terrebleue with a preface by Gabriel Bauret. That same year, his work was shown at the Le 29 photography bookshop, and the Musée de la ville de l’Isle Adam acquired one of his photographs.

In 2016 his series on Abidjan was nominated for the HSBC Prize for Photography (under artistic advisor Diane Dufour) and the magazine Camera featured a portfolio of his work. 2017 saw the publication of his second book “Consonances” with a preface by Michel Poivert, launched at the same time as his eponymous exhibition at the Clémentine de la Féronnière gallery in Paris. The municipality of Caen offered him a residency and commissioned a photographic portrait of the city.
