Unable to remove the sections of the wall that appealed to us, we decided to create "pieces of streets" reminiscent of these facades and their ephemeral decorations.
Married to the city, Claire and Yohann Gloaguen evolved for 10 years in their respective arts before forming the artistic duo CYEN in 2011. Yohann started in filmmaking. His short films are noticed, and are given awards at numerous international festivals, which led him to discover the world. He also had a passion for photography, with city life his favourite subject. Each trip was an opportunity for him to capture new elements, most often weathered by time. These urban safaris combined signage, anonymous posts, "street art" and other ephemeral traces that characterized each city, rich in these treasures. Claire, meanwhile, had been a painter and visual artist since 2001 and had exhibited in different countries. She collaborated on the writing of her husband's scenarios, thus sharing a love of film, art and travel, with a strong interest in the city. From their common passions was born an obvious result: the combination of their talents in a unique artistic expression.
The two artists decided to create "street pieces" recalling bits of walls or facades that they have found intriguing. Starting with a theme and associating a dominant colour, they depict a story, assembling Yohann's original photos into collages with Claire's construction materials bringing relief to the area photographed. In this way the work gives life to an imaginary piece of wall that is torn from the city Mixing these elements allows CYEN to make a tribute to each place and its actors, whether anonymous or known. The street expresses itself, and the artists suggest a different way to see it. The duo is currently working through themes on Paris, New York and Montreal, with plans to explore London, Berlin, Barcelona and other major American cities (Boston, Chicago) to renew their creations.
