gardien (in the sense of keeper)


Explanation:
Though there is not enough context for this sentence, I think the word "recorder" is used figuratively. A recorder is either be a device that records sounds or images or both so that they can be heard or seen again or the official who records (archivist).
So, figuratively speaking, I would stay "Il est le gardien de l'art figuratif", the word "gardien" being the French equivalent of "guardian", keeper.
Hoping my answer will help.
