Obvious (art collective)

Obvious is a French contemporary art collective founded in 2004 by Gilles Barbier, Parastou Forouhar, and several others. They create large-scale, immersive installations and sculptures that explore social, political, and cultural themes through provocative and often whimsical visual language. Their work encourages viewers to reflect on societal issues by combining humor, irony, and complex ideas in accessible, thought-provoking artworks. Obvious aims to challenge perceptions and stimulate dialogue around contemporary concerns, making their collective approach a dynamic force in the modern art world.
