Victor Cord'homme was born in 1991 in Paris to a French father who was a set designer in the film industry and a Danish mother who was a painter. A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 2017, he trained in the studios of painter Dominique Gauthier and sculptor Tadashi Kawamata before settling at Les Grandes Serres de Pantin, of which he is a founding member. Winner of the 36th International Takifuji Art Award, he has participated in various group exhibitions in France and abroad. He gained recognition in 2019 at the 100% exhibition at La Villette by Hermès, for whom he created a series of window displays in Shanghai and Tokyo.

A multidisciplinary artist, Victor Cord'homme constantly renews his practice and technique through various media, supports, and formats. His installations of paintings, sculptures, and mobiles highlight reinvented motifs and everyday objects. In his studio, a repertoire of forms, used materials, and spare parts awaits its final place. Fans, motors, solar panels, construction cones, trash cans, and park benches sit alongside metal rods, scraps of painted canvas, ceramics, and pieces of wood in an uncertain order. Like a distant echo of certain post-war artists, such as Rauschenberg or Tinguely, Victor Cord'homme's work reveals a genuine fascination with salvaged materials and objects, whose meaning and purpose he subverts. He also questions movement and is passionate about different means of energy production. A tireless dreamer, he remains nonetheless extremely clear-sighted about the modern world and its many excesses.
