    ABOUT THE ARTIST

    Portrait Xavier Servas

    Xavier Servas

    “I’m a French visual artist and object designer living in Brussels, Belgium.

    After studying fine arts at the University of Paris 8, I went on to study product design at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris and at the Höchscule für Gestaltung Kalrsruhe, where I spent two semesters.

    As a designer, I worked in Vietnam and contributed to the preservation of local traditional crafts. Back in France, I got involved in the makers community as a consultant and fabmanager.
    I worked as an assistant to artist Elias Crespin.

    I started working on my own art projects in 2019. I’m interested in ancient craft techniques, some of which have fallen into oblivion, which I confront with today’s context. I engage in applied experimental research, informed in particular by archaeology and ethnology. This approach is motivated by the conviction that materials developed before the advent of the industrial age possess technical properties that can respond to contemporary issues, as well as by the desire to create a poetic formal language based on notions of timelessness and imperfection.”
