David Dubois (born 1971 in Dinan, France) stands at the crossroads of multiple practices, cultivating connections with
design,
contemporary art,
graphic design,
fashion, and
dance. After ten years of artistic practice, David Dubois returned to his studies in 2000, enrolling in design at ENSCI–Les Ateliers. While still a student, he met Désirée Heiss and Inès Kaag, founders of the fashion label
BLESS, with whom he began a long collaboration (object design, graphic design, scenography) that lasted until 2010. In 2006, he joined Galerie kreo to develop projects ranging from limited-edition pieces and spatial design (such as Christian Lacroix concept stores in New York and Las Vegas) to more industrial objects (Kronenbourg, Lalique…). From 2004 to 2011, Villa Noailles, art center in Hyères, became a privileged ground for his expression, where he produced exhibitions, scenographies, and permanent installations such as the rooms dedicated to Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles.
His ties with the performing arts are close, particularly through collaborations with choreographers Christian Rizzo and Fanny de Chaillé. He has also developed projects for Mudam Luxembourg, the
Palais de Tokyo and the Kadist Art Foundation in Paris,
Villa Arson in Nice, the
Centre International de Recherche sur le Verre et les Arts plastiques (CIRVA) in Marseille, and the Centre International d'Art Verrier (CIAV) in Meisenthal.
He has worked with the galleries Semiose, MICA, FR66, 8+4 / Bernard Chauveau, Minimasterpiece, and A1043. His works are held in the collections of the FNAC (Fonds National d'Art Contemporain), the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the CID Grand-Hornu (Belgium).
