Born in 1951 in Ancone, France.
Lives and works in the Drome region, France.
Eggs sunny side up, flying armchairs, bubble desks, pedestal tables made out of multicoloured pillows,creatures half alien - half cat named Mathilda, Oscar or Judith... All of these pieces are unique and done by Michel Froment,an atypical character just like his works.
In his first life as an antique dealer, Froment was fascinated by the biggest designers of the 20th century. Their works constitute the core knowledge of his universe.
Today, he gives us his version of an unknown world, without truths nor references, a world in which we feel like diving easily.
The colours are acidulated, pop, vibrant, they titillate our imagination just like his experiments with rubber marry his creative madness as well as his wisdom. His is a universe that is alive, filled with fantasy and playfulness because for Fromenteverything is about these new shapes he gives birth to, shapes that are whimsical and gently decallees.
As you can tell, Froment is not an artist you can easily commission: it is better to give him carte blanche, he will give life to everything that speaks to your unconscious to your imagination, even if that means taking you with him on another planet.
Exhibitions: Belgium, United States, Great Britain, France, Luxembourg.
