Born1955
MovementConceptual art

Joel Ducorroy (born 1955) is a French artist and known as a "plate artist" (artiste "plaquetitien" in French).

Work

His art consists of stamping a word or words onto license plates. He uses license plates as a way of breaking away from the traditional canvas and is also a symbol of contemporary life as cars are at the core of our current society. As a conceptual and humoristic artist, he 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.
