Raphaël Barontini (b. 1984, Saint-Denis, France; lives in Paris, France) is an interdisciplinary collagist who works with photography, silk-screen printing, painting, and digital prints. Informed by Creole, African, and Caribbean cultures, Barontini uses archival images to reevaluate ancestral stories. By reframing the past, he challenges the historical canon that surrounds cultures and territories marked by slavery or colonization. Major solo exhibitions of Barontini's work have been held at Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, NH; Pantheon, Paris; Henri Prades Museum, Lattes, France; Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, TX; and SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, GA,
among others.
