Born in Switzerland in the Fribourg countryside, Guy Oberson has been drawing extensively since childhood. He started out in art restoration and in the social field linked to addiction, before becoming a freelance artist in 2000.
In 2011, he moved to Berlin following a residency with the State of Freiburg. Between 2014 and 2019, he moved to Paris, which became his main creative center. He now lives and works again between Switzerland and Berlin.
In 2011, he met Nancy Huston, and their travels together gave rise to several artists’ books, published by Actes Sud and Editions du Chemin de fer. Guy Oberson has produced several publications, including a monograph entitled Guy Oberson – Sous la peau du monde, published by Editions Till Schaap-Genoud.
In 2016 he won the Prix culturel de l’Etat de Fribourg, and in 2018 and 2020 he is in residence in Benin.
