Renaud Jerez

Renaud Jerez creates sculptural worlds that explore the fraught intersection of the human body, digital culture, and the machinery of consumption. Using soft sculpture and industrial materials, Jerez addresses dystopian themes through hybrid forms that appear both organic and artificial, familiar yet unsettling.

In BDS (2015), Jerez presents a barely recognizable cyborg made of burnt fabrics and exposed tubing. The networked, teetering figure appears as though it has emerged from an animated digital world, disoriented and disfigured. Similarity, sans titre (When Tania arrived home) (2016), a soft red seat has merged with a crustacean-like creature, forming a surreal hybrid that blurs the boundary between domestic comfort and alien morphology.

Marked by a raw, sci-fi aesthetic and prosthetic surrealism, Jerez’s work interrogates the future of identity in the digital age. His figures suggest synthetic, exhausted bodies shaped by systems of control and collapse.
