GUILLAUME MARTIN-TATON
(he/him)
Guillaume Martin-Taton's work sits at the crossroads of contemporary art and design, revolving around a personal mythology. Led by his alter ego, Manitou, he has developed an alphabet of 676 characters along with its own diction and phonetics. Blending elements of signage and aposematism, the natural warning signals used by animals, Guillaume's creations function as both narrative artefacts and design objects. Across mediums such as painting, ceramics, and functional items, his work establishes a visual language that defines the identity of a fictional "micro-tribe."
