For more than ten years, Michel de Broin has been honing a trans-disciplinary art which calls systems and their articulation into question. Adopting a critical and playful attitude towards common objects and current ideas, he sets out to render visible, through richly profound metaphors and analogies, the forces at work in the movement of the energies which guide our actions and govern our impulses. (Nathalie Deblois)

His most recent solo shows include Cut in the Dark, Galeria Toni Tàpies, (Barcelone, 2010), Disruption from Within, Plug In (Winnipeg, 2009), Reciprocal Energy at the the Mac/Val (Vitry-sur seine, Paris, 2008), Machinations, Musée national des beaux arts du Québec (Québec City, 2006), Reverse Entropy, Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin, 2006), Réparations, Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi (Berlin, 2006)
