Ugo Caron Artist from Granville 01
Ugo Caron Artist from Granville 03Ugo Caronwas born in Granville. He recounts how, from an early age, he drew on his exercise books in class. Initially interested in becoming an archaeologist, Ugo went on to post-baccalaureate studies in his chosen field and became a graphic designer and illustrator in Rennes. It was at the age of 19 that he created his first posters. One thing led to another and his career took him to Caen, before returning to his roots in Granville six years ago. A group of childhood friends met up there, and that’s where the story took a new turn. Ugo soon became involved in collective artistic projects with local designers such as Chabert 4, François Leconte and Gildas Leservoisier. Together, they created Energy Man, a drawing-based concert combining music and graphic performance. Then, the need to separate the place where he lives from the place where he works became important. He co-founded Le Demi-Lieu, a shared studio that has become a haven for artists and a breeding ground for cultural events: exhibitions, concerts, stand-up comedy… Le Demi-Lieu lives and breathes art in all its forms.
