Over a series of working sessions this past winter, art advisory art_works facilitated a beautiful collaboration between Utile and artist Cyrille Conan to create a mural in our Boston office that both complements the office space and speaks to our firm identity. Mimi Love and Cyrille Conan reflect on the mural-making process in an interview posted on art_works’ Art Working Blog.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Cyrille Conan was born in 1973 and grew up in Queens, NY, to French immigrants. He is a first-generation American and is bilingual. He has dual citizenship and identifies as both French and American. This duality is apparent in his artwork. The grit of the work derives from growing up in NYC in the 1970s and 1980s, and the love of nature and natural forms distilled in him from Celtic/Breton culture have transformed into a minimal, organic, geometric abstraction.
Cyrille graduated with a BFA in Painting from the Hartford Art School before planting his roots in Boston in 1998. While his primary practice is still painting, he works in various mediums and scales. He’s produced site-specific installations and murals in numerous states, local galleries, and public spaces in Boston, including The Cyclorama, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Boston City Hall.
