Born in Brittany, France in 1965, Stéphane Dauthuille graduated from European Academy of Art in Brittany at Rennes. His works from the 1990s are mostly monochromatic, abstract graphic works, while his later works gradually shifted to figurative expressions with the subject advancing from indoor inanimate objects to fictional characters. With gentle and smooth shades of grey, his style is marked by a sense of poetic fantasy and a dramatic, playful theme. With surreal scenes mixing the travel experiences of the artist and East-Asian cultural elements, his works are filled with mystery, leaving the viewer with endless imagination. The artist was invited to exhibit in Paris, Brussels, Strasbourg, Lille, Nantes, Avignon.
