Contents

Work

Joel Ducorroy's art consists of stamping a word or words onto license plates. Ducorroy uses license plates as a way of breaking away from the traditional canvas and also as a symbol of contemporary life as cars are at the core of our current society. As a conceptual and humoristic artist, Ducorroy translates images into words. Everything is written, nothing is explicit. Describing rather than showing, Ducorroy doesn't dictate his point of view but invites the spectators to create their own image. He exhibits in many places, in France but also in New York City and Tokyo, and works with different galleries in France, especially with Galerie Kahn and Galerie Baudoin Lebon.
