Claude Closky (b. 1964, Paris) is a French conceptual artist whose work explores systems of information, repetition, and everyday visual language. Using lists, numbers, slogans, and mass-produced imagery, he examines how meaning is constructed, consumed, and emptied through overexposure. His practice spans drawing, text works, installations, books, and printed multiples, often blurring the line between art, advertising, and data. Closky’s work has been widely exhibited internationally and is emblematic of a precise, ironic, and rigorously conceptual approach to contemporary visual culture.
