Biography / HUGO BAUDOUIN

Hugo Baudouin is a Berlin-based, French artist. His expressive style depicts
the influenced inner self in an attempt to expose hidden facets of social
iconography, sexual symbolism and aesthetic fantasy. Bold lines, faces,
grimaces and characters are used to portray the recurrence of affirmation
and validation in a digital age. Whether alone or in the middle of a crowd,
we are all left to face our individuality, to challenge and unveil societal
appearances.

By exuding the theater of persona and its multiple identities, Baudouin
depicts society and the role of the individual within the collective. In so, he
poses the question: Is it even possible to detach oneself from this hold? Who
am I behind the mask? Who am I in the crowd?
