Richard Texier is a painter and a sculptor born in Niort in 1955. He comes to Paris to study architecture and writes a thesis entitled Constructions from nature that is close to the theories of Land Art, later in 1981 he will present another thesis in Fine Arts at the Sorbonne. After having left for the United States, he establishes the principle of Nomadic Studios multiplying his work spaces in France and throughout the world (New-York, Moscow, Shanghai, Rangoon). In 2004, he sets up a studio in Shanghai to better impregnate himself of the mythical animals of Imperial China. His works explore Elastogènese theory he invented that explores the elasticity of imagination (Manifesto published with Fata Morgana in 2018) enabling him the invention of fluid and light sculptures, at the edge of intangibility. Following this he then made monumental works in many towns, such as the hybrid Angel Bear at the entrance of the Gare du Nord train station in Paris. He has also written five books with the publisher Gallimard.
