Art is what makes life more interesting than art [Robert Filliou]

William (wallace) Zurini was born in 1960 in a small town in northern France. Like Leonardo da Vinci, he draws in the margins instead of listening to his teachers at school.His social life is not the most exciting and he takes refuge in the bad comics of the french publisher "Mon Journal" from where he will keep an immoderate taste for the drawings.At the beginning of the 80's, he practiced modeling (clay and sandstone) from which he produced a few works of little interest but which opened his eyes to a definitive truth: one can create with little, so art is not only a matter for the wealthy.He discovered color in 1995 (and it was about time) by making a few drawings with colored ballpoint pens on paper during a stay in the Maritime Alps.A few years later, Wallace, begins to paint with gouache for kids on cardboard packaging, this trigger releases a creativity that was probably hidden between a few synapses since his birth. A great adventure begins...
William (Wallace) Zurini practices a simple and spontaneous figurative art, originally made entirely from poor or derisory materials: cardboard packaging, plywood, Christmas garlands, gouache and cheap acrylics.Today, its support is mainly canvas and digital creation.
The line is fast, the vocabulary childlike, the decorative patterns and recurring backgrounds, the essential remains a fresh, colorful, spontaneous impression ...The basic themes, often kitsch, look alike and repeat themselves: cloned women, absurd bestiary. They willingly evoke the soothing virtues of our world; its aberrations; its contradictions, the lethargy of the icon, the hopping decorations of the baroque age, the schizophrenic world of the tale or myth and some beautiful languid girls at the edge of a swimming pool.He continues to play the artist on vacation, on the beaches of France where he assembles poor things rejected by the sea or by life to make what he naively calls "Monsieur Sable/Mister Sand".
Wallace is also a graphic designer and illustrator, he lives (always) and works (sometimes) in Cambrai, France, his hometown.
