Born in Paris in 1996
Master's degree from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (DNSAP) in 2021.
Lecturer at the Composites Workshop at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris since 2018, he has developed his own unique creative approach in an industrial-inspired studio.
He has had critically acclaimed solo exhibitions in Paris and has been awarded the Official Gallery and Museum of Paris, France's Emerging Artist Prize (2022) and has been shortlisted for a number of emerging artist prizes including the Heathley Prize (2023) and the Pantheon-Sorbonne Prize in Paris (2022).
The practice vibrantly blends color, form, material and space, stemming from his keen interest in industrial graphic techniques and materials. Using molded resin supports to peel the paintings away from the wall, the artist transforms color into an active subject that explores the interplay between form and anti-form; while his reflective surface treatments echo the environment to create a new perception of reality. Canusi employs pneumatic airbrushes and other impersonal techniques to neutralize the personal gesture and its cultural baggage, thus creating a pure, contemplative experience of color and form that opens up an infinite metaphysical realm.
