Born in Vierzon, France, in 1948, Vincent Barré graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. A student of the renowned architect Louis Kahn, he also holds a doctorate in urban planning and a degree in architecture. Through his travels, visits to major museums, and practice of drawing, he developed his artistic voice, ultimately breaking from his initial path to become a sculptor. He served as head of a workshop at the Beaux-Arts de Paris for over fifteen years. Alongside his work as a teacher and sculptor, he began making his first short films. His encounter with Pierre Creton and the mentorship that followed were decisive in shaping his artistic practice. For Barré, filmmaking always goes hand in hand with drawing and the creation of objects or sculptures, maintaining a constant dialogue between disciplines. He lives and works between Saint-Firmin-des-Bois (Loiret) and Paris.
