Dany Albiach was born in 1999. He lives and works in Lyon and graduated from the Villa Arson in 2024. His artistic practice is pluralistic: he explores the notions of traces, memory and resuscitation of the past via drawing, photography, sculpture and screen printing, pondering the materiality of images and their potential to build narratives. Fragments of his memory, family archives and fiction are central to his compositions. This multiple approach produces sensitive, silent artworks that invite the viewer to reconsider the continuity of time. From his foundation year at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in 2017 to his residency in Issoudun in 2025, his past experiences have nurtured and helped structure his artistic explorations.
From 3 March to 2 May 2026, Dany Albiach is presenting a solo exhibition entitled ‘Mémoire Fugitive’ (Fleeting Memory) at 46 St Paul Gallery, in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
He was chosen to receive the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation artist support scholarship from a shortlist of six young artists who graduated from the Villa Arson in 2024 or 2025 and who stood out for their work in the areas of painting and drawing.
