Climate Control presents French Paintings, a solo exhibition by French artist Renaud Jerez.

Working across styles and mediums, but with a concentration on sculpture,  Renaud Jerez (b. 1982, Narbonne, France) uses craft and industrial materials  to create haunting, humorous, and abject sculptures that imagine the future  through monsters and ruins. Intricate and violent, these forms frequently  present a human form consumed with architecture and technology.

Renaud Jerez’s recent solo exhibitions include : Crèvecœur, Paris (FR), Musée  des Abattoirs, Toulouse (FR), ICA, Miami (US), Jenny’s, Los Angeles (US), National Gallery, Prague (CZ).

He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo,  Paris (FR), Consortium, Dijon (FR), New Museum, New York (USA), Centre  Pompidou, Metz (FR), MO.CO, Montpellier (FR), macLYON, Lyon (FR), Tri  Postal/Lille 3000 (FR), Dortmunder Kunstverein (DE), Kunsthalle KAI10, Arthena Foundation, Düsseldorf (DE), Mainz (DE), MAAT, Lisbon (PT)...

His work is held in institutional collections such as Musée d’Art Moderne  de la Ville de Paris (FR), Les Abattoirs - FRAC Occitanie Toulouse (FR), Da vid Roberts Art Foundation, London (UK), GAMeC, Bergamo (IT), FRAC des  Pays de la Loire (FR), Centre National des Arts Plastiques (CNAP) (FR), MAC  VAL (FR).
