Vincent Gild, whose real name Vincent Duval, born January 4, 1974 in Chalonsur-Saône, is a French painter and sculptor associated with abstract art. He is particularly known for his use of reflections, by his sculptures on canvas by means of a thick structure composed of resin and oil paint.1 Musician guitarist and studio arranger, Vincent Gild moved to Paris in 1998 in order to realize his projects of sound recordings with the singer Nicolas Ker, (he becomes bass player for the group Paris2 - album an ocean of star released in 2007 at No Future Records and songwriter on the project "Opera"). In 2005 Paris2 opened for Alan Vega at the Le Triptyque3 club. Some of the titles of the “Opera” project were recorded in the 2000s and chosen for the soundtrack of the fourth feature film by Arielle Dombasle Alien Crystal Palace (2020). In 2004, he released a single (Superworld) under the direction of Bob Sinclar (Yellow Productions) whose b side was remixed by Thomas Koch (DJ.T).

This decision is the result of his collaboration with the New Zealand sculptor Marian Fountain4, who introduced him to bronze and the chemical techniques of patina in his workshop in Montmartre5. Gild isolates himself for several years in his workshop in Burgundy and experiments with a multitude of techniques and styles by combining different materials and supports. Influenced by art brut, he quickly developed an abstract painting. His first series, which he calls “Outre-lumière” 6, is composed of bitumen mixed with resin and ultramarine blue. In his art, he is inspired by his past as a musician and creates a direct exchange with serial and repetitive music.
