Yann Couedor est artiste plasticien depuis 2004. Il est né en 1977 en France et vit actuellement à Paris. Il grandit en Touraine puis étudie à Paris et en Afrique du Sud jusqu’à 21 ans.
Avant d’être artiste, Yann est un grand passionné de musique et collectionneur. C’est principalement là qu’il puise son inspiration, bien qu’il soit particulièrement happé par d’autres domaines comme le cinéma ou le pop art. C’est ce qui le pousse à représenter à sa manière les artistes et personnalités qui l’ont marqués.
Il peint à l’acrylique et aime composer avec du collage, son idée étant de coller des éléments authentiques en relation avec le personnage qu’il peint (articles de journaux, pochettes vinyles, photos, CD, matériel audio et vidéo etc).
Yann Couedor is a visual artist since 2004. He was born in France and currently lives in Paris. He grew up in Touraine then studied in Paris and South Africa up to the age of 21.
Before being an artist, Yann is a great music lover and collector. This is mainly where he draws his inspiration from, although he is particulary fascinated by other fields such as movies and pop art. This is what led him to represent on its ownway artists and personalities that have marked him.
He paints with acrylic and likes to compose with collage. His initial idea being to stick authentic elements in relation with the character he chooses to paint (newspaper articles, vinyl records cover, photos, CD, audio video equipments etc)
He developed several collections around this theme, presented in nearly fifty solo and group exhibitions throughout his career.
His work naturally extended into collaborations with the music and film industries — notably with Universal Music and Capitol Music in France, as well as Paramount Pictures and Lionsgate Films in the United States, earning him two Clio Awards in 2023.
