Jaime Tato le Bleu is an artist and designer who was born in Rotterdam and graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2022. His work occupies a space between sculpture, craftsmanship, performance, and design. Driven by his fascination with a holistic and collaborative methodology, he co-founded the artist collective Espace Aygo. Through the collective, he explores the domestic space, engaging in co-living and contributing to the creation of the space that Jaime and his collective inhabit.
Jacqilly - The sculpture, taking the form of a dinning setting, questions the relation in between the industrial and natural.
Prinvelis Galia - My father worked as a set designer in the film industry, and during my childhood, he frequently brought back objects from his movie productions. Those from his journeys to Georgia, in particular, fascinated me. They were roughly welded steel objects, with scary but luring appearances. Our family has deep connections to Georgia, and during the movie productions, lasting friendships were formed, evolving into a sense of extended family. One significant friendship was with the Georgian director Tato Kotetishvili, who passed away the night I was born. I am named Jaime Tato after him. 'Prinvelis Galia' begins a reflection on my personal history.
