Winner of the Prix Découverte des Amis du Palais de Tokyo, in 2009, he has quickly imposed his style on the eye. That of a felt-tip drawing with Indian ink on paper, made of a multitude of small cross-hatched lines, slowly placed one next to the other, without ever occupying the entire surface of the support on which he works. In short, a type of drawing that belongs only to him and that distinguishes him at first glance. If this type of drawing occupies a privileged place in Emmanuel Régent's creative process, it is no less true that his art cannot be exclusively confined to this type of exercise. It is in fact polymorphic and calls for drawing as well as painting and sculpture, sometimes showing itself in installations that mix these different modes.
