Paul Granjon was born in Lyon, France and lives and works in Cardiff, Wales
Granjon’s DIY approach involves using the ever-increasing detritus of the technological revolution to create robots, films, installations and performances. His ability to engage and entertain through his work is deceptive as it belies an investigation of serious issues that lead us into darker worrying territories and explore cultural anxieties. Granjon critiques our cultural obsession with notions of progress and our ever-increasing desire to create and harness state-of-the art technology
He studied at École des Beaux-Arts de Marseille, France and has exhibited and performed internationally and nationally ever since. In 2005 he was chosen to represent Wales at the Venice Biennale of Art
