Gabriel Abrantes

Internationally acclaimed for his films (Grand prix de la Semaine de la critique at the Cannes Film Festival for the feature Diamantino in 2018), he presents in Avignon all the richness of a work where video installations, films, paintings and drawings mingle, where new technologies meet poetry with strength and elegance.
In the rooms of the Hôtel de Montfaucon, he will present a series of recent drawings, paintings and videos, including the large-scale installation Bardo Loops, commissioned in 2024 by the CAM Gulbenkian in Lisbon and exhibited to mark the reopening of its modern art center.
Through this multitude of mediums, all approached with disconcerting virtuosity, Gabriel Abrantes depicts a strange world in which algorithms and artificial intelligence seem to have taken over.
