Richard Texier

Richard Texier lives and works in Paris. Recognized today as one of the leading artists of his generation, he began painting at a young age, drawing early inspiration from the history of astronomy. This fascination led him to develop his own personal cosmography, of which Theoria Sacra is a remarkable later example.

Since 1992, Texier has expanded his practice to sculpture, notably through his bronze mythological creatures that explore and redefine the concept of hybridization. His recent work centers on the Pantheo Vortex, an artistic investigation into the mystery and beauty of the world.

His works are held in numerous major public and private collections in France and abroad, and have been exhibited in prominent institutions such as the National Museum of Taiwan, the National Museum of Luxembourg, the Musée de la Marine in Paris, the Botanical Museum of Brussels, the House of Culture in Moscow, and the Shanghai Fine Arts Museum.
