Richard Texier

Richard Texier has had a significant influence on contemporary art. His work demonstrates his deep fascination with the history of astronomy, which greatly influenced his conception of his cosmic map. Texier’s multimedia creations depict the magical realm of existence through the discovery of nature and the exploration of the imaginary. Art is for him, as he says, “a means of magical thinking” At the beginning of his work, Richard makes conceptual pieces such as Lieu bleu, Enregistrement lunaire, Relevé de Lune, as well as his Calendriers lunaires series. As an exploration of 'territories,' Texier's works on paper allow viewers to glimpse into the universe he shares with them.

His mental tracks provide insight as they lead us through the maze of his thoughts. As part of his ongoing study of the wonders and mysteries of the world, Texier is investigating the Pantheo Vortex, a collection of images exploring the enigmas and magic of life in the animal and mineral kingdoms as well as the life sciences.Hybridization and mystery of the world are two major themes in the work of Richard Texier.

Mythological Animals and Hybridization

Humanity benefits from hybridization. The mythological beasts that Richard Texier has imagined are based on this inspiration. Our world today is undergoing another type of hybridization, involving ideas, cultures, peoples, and territories. The work Bionics, Hybrids, and Generis by Richard Texier pays homage to this global movement.

Theoria Sacra - Pantheo Vortex - Exploration of Mystery

It is a creative strategy to address the mystery and magical dimension of existence. Only art can deal with such sensitive topics of existence without being dogmatic or religious, according to Richard Texier. Theoria Sacra consists of a series of canvas paintings. The purpose of Pantheo Vortex is to generate an archive of photographs or, a catalog of artificially generated images that present an enhanced reality. 

The bronze mythological animals he has produced since 1992 are among his most renowned sculptures. He interpreted the hybridization concept based on these findings. The works of Richard Texier are included in an impressive array of collections in France and abroad, both public and private. His work has been displayed in many major museums and has been well received. These include the National Museum of Taiwan, the Marine Museum in Paris, the National Museum of Luxemburg, the Botanical Museum of Brussels, the Shanghai Museum of Fine Art, and the House of Culture in Moscow.
