Between Two

Adrien Milon lives and works in Brussels. Born in Paris in 1998, he began his artistic journey in 2018 at isdaT (institut supérieur des arts et du design de Toulouse). After completing his bachelor’s degree in 2021, he returned to Paris and joined the atelier of La Vache Bleue. In 2022, he resumed his studies at ARBA-ESA (Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts – École Supérieure des Arts) in Brussels.

In 2023, he co-founded L’Oscillobat, a self-managed space bringing together studios and an exhibition venue, which currently hosts around fifteen artists. In 2024, he completed his master’s degree in sculpture at ARBA-ESA.

“I have always been fascinated by what lies ‘outside the norm’, not in the spectacular sense, but in what quietly slips into everyday life, almost invisible.

These are simple, instinctive gestures, where the ordinary transforms itself silently. A machine, a place, a banal object: anything can suddenly free itself from its primary function to meet a more intimate, more human necessity.

A knife with a broken tip becomes a screwdriver, stored in the toolbox.

A supermarket shopping cart is transformed into a barbecue.

Stacks of books piled beside the bed, supporting a lamp, improvising a bedside table for years.

These diversions and shifts in meaning feed my artistic practice.

From this poetry born of necessity and imagination emerges the essence of my work: an attention to the soul of objects, to their second life, to their discreet beauty.”
