BIOGRAPHY

Charles Hascoët (b.1985) is a French artist who lives and works between New York City and Paris. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris and graduated in 2014. During his student years, and along with his teachers (J.Rielly or J.Michel Alberola among them), he had the occasion to continue and deepen his favourite medium, painting.

Since then, his pictorial creations have been the subject of several solo exhibitions including DUMONTEIL Shanghai (2024, 2021); Galerie Mighela Shama, Genève (2023, 2021); Superzoom Gallery, Paris (2022); New Galerie, Paris (2021), etc. His work has also been exhibited in art institutions including the Musée Picasso, Paris (2023), and the MO.CO., Montpellier (2023). His works have been included in the collections of several art institutions, including: X Museum, Beijing; TAG Museum, Qingdao, China, etc.

Hascoët draws from art historical tropes, iconic films, and childhood memories to paint nostalgic scenes that exist between reality and imagination. The artist fuses discordant symbols into domestic sill lifes, romantic portraits, and dreamlike landscapes to create fantastical narratives. Hascoet’s tableaux pay homage to reclining figures of master French painters, like Gustave Courbet and Eugène Delacroix, while also incorporating an auto-biographical dimension as the artist inserts himself into these often peculiar worlds. By combining art-historical tropes with personal iconography, Hascoët invites us to join the process of self-discovery as he uncovers various parts of himself, as well as our collective histories.

He is at the same time known for years for his DJ practice, playing his massive and eclectic Vinyl collection in clubs, bars, concert halls, in Europe and worldwide, as numerous radio broadcasts.
