Trentemoult, 44400 Rezé

He lives in Trentemoult.

Gavin Pryke is an all-round artist who lives in Trentemoult. He describes himself as an illustrator, graphic artist, tattoo artist and "maker of creations": drawing, painting, murals, portraits, prints and tattoos. His best-known project is his automatons. In 2015 he built thirteen of them for Le Voyage à Nantes, on the theme of shop signs. Shown every summer on rue Maréchal-Joffre, they tell the story of a couple falling in love from shop to shop. He later worked with the IUT de Nantes to modernise their mechanisms. Since summer 2022, ten of them have been on permanent display at the doors of the Talensac market, visible Tuesday to Sunday, 8am to 1pm. He has also painted murals for schools, bars and private clients in Nantes. Exhibitions: Carte blanche at Trempolino (2018), "L'Art Werk" at Espace Pebroc (2015), "Eroded Elegance" at Cosmopolis (2013), Espace LVL (2010), all in Nantes.
