Crespin also plays with his materials’ transparency and shadows. An heir to the South American kinetic art movement, he developed a very personal line with his poetic mechanism of geometry.
Crespin’s works were included in the exhibitions Dynamo at the Grand Palais (Paris, 2013), Turbulence at the Cultural Space of Louis Vuitton (Paris, 2012), the Busan Biennale (Busan, 2014) and in the Boghossian foundation.
