Born in 1981 in Grenoble, France. Lives and works in Grenoble, France.
Scenes of guerilla warfare, demonstrations, the outraged and counter culture drawn from “everyday observation” are raw material for the work of Johann Rivat. His work, inspired by the press, gives rise to post apocalyptic scenes, reinforced by the absence of spatiotemporal references. For the artist the road is also an extension of the street, a means for movement, for wandering the world, but mainly an obstacle course, an allegory for the rawness of life.
