Daniel Buren was born in Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris, on March 25, 1938.
After completing his secondary education he enrolled in the École des Métiers d’Art in Paris. From December 1966 to September 1967, Buren forms an association with painters Olivier Mosset, Michel Parmentier and Niele Toroni for a series of collective manifestations that were to upset the artistic practices of the time and denounce the obsolescence of exhibition spaces in France.
In the mid 60’s, Buren began to create paintings that radically questioned and explored the economy of the media used in his work and the relationship between background (support medium) and form (painting).
In 1965, when he was painting pictures that combined rounded forms and stripes varying in sizes and colours, he chose to use an industrial fabric with fixed vertical 8.7 cm-wide stripes alternating white with another colour. Beginning from this extremely simple and banal visual register, Buren further impoverished it by repeating it systematically to reach the grade of zero painting. This reflection will cause the observer’s attention to shift from the work to the physical and social environment within which the artist intervenes
Eventually, he abandoned his studio in 1967, to favour work in situ, starting from the street with the affichages sauvages, then the gallery, the museum, the landscape or the architecture.
His “visual tool” is based on the use of alternating stripes, which let him reveal the significant details of the site where he is working, by employing them in specific, and at times complex, structures lying somewhere between painting, sculpture and architecture.
His in-situ works play with points of view, spaces, colours, light, movement, the surrounding environment, angles or projections, acquiring their decorative force by radically transforming the sites.
Incisive, critical and engaged, Buren’s work is in a continual state of development and diversification, and never fails to stimulate comment, admiration and disagreement. In 1986, he realized his most controversial public commission, today classified as a “historical monument” Les Deux Plateaux , for the courtyard of honour of the Palais-Royal in Paris. In the same year, he represented France at the Venice Biennale, where he was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Pavilion.
In 2007, he received the Praemium Imperiale for Painting in Tokyo, Japan.
Buren is one of the most active and acclaimed artists on the international art scene today, and his work has been shown in leading galleries and museums, and in a wide range of sites around the world.
