Vita
– Michel Batlle was born in Toulouse on April 3, 1946.
Batlle begins making a name for himself in 1966 with “Psychophysiographie” – a term that describes the graphic representation of interrelations between the human mind and body (creating imaginary anatomies in which minds and bodies merge).
From 1966-1969 the artist focuses on radiographic art and specially conceptualized photography.
In 1970 he abandons abstraction in favour of a new Expressionist form of figural art.
From 1971-1975 Batlle specializes in performance painting and land art, creating critical parodies on the eccentricities of the modern international art market.
