Martin Singer is a contemporary French artist whose artistic journey began when he left Fine Arts in the 90s. His passion for painting has always been the driving force behind his creation. He has taught at the Calaisis art school since 2000.
Committed to questioning his favorite medium, he managed to work on the mode of his presentation most often implemented, which is the frame. But beyond the frame, more general questions become clearer: the off-screen, the border, the inside-outside.
