Discover the contemporary work of Colas Renard

I always knew that drawing would be my professional activity of heart.

The study of engraving at the Estienne school allowed me to fall under the spell of the elegant rudimentarity of the print.

In another approach, working in printing allowed me to realize that artisanal techniques are not always put at the service of reasoned companies.

In 2024, I open the workshop in Bourges. It allows to disseminate engraving and drawing, through mutual aid and learning on a human scale.

The simplest solutions are the best. Climbing too high is the best way to fall too hard to be able to get up again.

When society declares war on Life on Earth, then we have to look elsewhere.

I try to disgust consumption. Through my environmentalist works, but also by transmitting the taste for mutual aid and empathy during the workshops that I lead: hands in ink, and with steps to six hands.

Rudimentary know-how, Nature and Art are reliable values that must be preserved.
