iGOR

At the Crossroads of Light and Form

Born in 1959, Grégoire Wuillaume, known as iGOR, has practiced and taught architecture for over three decades, receiving numerous national and international accolades for his innovative projects. His artistic universe exists at the intersection of architecture and plastic exploration—a quest for the unseen and the minute, both daring and thought-provoking. iGOR’s work pushes the boundaries of the visible, using materiality to achieve a form of visual poetry. His creations, suspended between abstraction and figuration, invite us to explore the imperceptible, questioning our perception of reality.

iGOR's art is fundamentally a quest for meaning, an exploration of the unknown depths of human experience. He believes that "no one on Earth is obliged to be an artist, but everyone is compelled to seek and explore." His work is not about imposing a single narrative but awakening a new dialogue between the artwork and the observer. His paintings, "imprints of light," become portals to multiple dimensions, moments of tension and transition between different states of matter and spirit. The theme of disappearance in his work becomes a revelation, a journey from the tangible to the intangible.

Rooted in his architectural practice, iGOR’s creations are reflections on how we inhabit the world. His work, both poetic and philosophical, ranges from ink and charcoal sketches to layered acrylics, creating a mist-like effect that transcends the divide between abstraction and figuration. His art invites viewers to explore the unseen, find resonance in the unknown, and recognize the vast possibilities within the subtlety of each line and form. Ultimately, iGOR is an architect of the unknown, building bridges between the visible and invisible, tangible and intangible, challenging the viewer to see beyond the material to a more profound experience of existence.

“I believe that art in all its forms of expression should facilitate access to our innermost being, deep within us. If we so desire, we can feel a creative force that is probably the essence of our universe. When I am in contact with this source I'm invited to participate, in my own way, in Creation. Always in motion, sharing this creation is part of my desire to weave more widely these universal links”
