Biography
Kévin Bray's work exists at the intersection of myth, media archaeology and geopolitical storytelling, exploring how narratives, whether folkloric, scientific or algorithmic, shape perception and script collective behaviour. Working across painting, video, 3D modelling and fiction, he treats each medium as both a tool and a subject. Central to his practice is the construction of hybrid myths: research-driven yet speculative stories that bridge ancient allegories with contemporary crises. By making the mechanics of storytelling visible, through glitches, exposed production pipelines or fragmented structures, Bray positions art as a counter-script: a space to dismantle, examine and reimagine the narratives that shape our world.
Born in Corbie, France, in 1989, Bray lives and works in Amsterdam. He studied graphic design at ESAAT in Roubaix before obtaining master's degrees in design from ESAAB in Nevers and the Sandberg Instituut, followed by a residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (2018–2019), both in Amsterdam. He has exhibited at institutions including Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Dordrechts Museum, Foam in Amsterdam, Max Ernst Museum Brühl and the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung. His work is held in the collection of a.o. Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
