The Art of Christoff Baron

Born in June 1972 in Blanc-Mesnil, France, Christoff Baron now works from the charming city of Strasbourg.

Christoff’s unique canvas consists of discarded scaffolding boards—pieces of wood marked by their time on construction sites. He carefully transforms these weathered materials, preserving their raw textures and imprints, into striking works of art.

His creative influences span cinema and literature, drawing from figures like Shakespeare, Sidney Lumet, Dostoevsky, and Buzzati. Through his exhibitions, Christoff connects these diverse disciplines, creating unexpected yet meaningful links.

At the core of his art is a balance between contrasting elements: the industrial and the artistic, the rough and the refined, the accidental and the intentional. Each piece reflects his ability to find beauty in the ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary.

In addition to his artwork, Christoff is a talented comic strip creator, blending illustration and storytelling in a way that captivates and inspires.
