Galería Mascota is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Michel François (@mmichel_francois )showcasing some works that completely transform the gallery’s landscape. His pieces explore cause and effect and the ways in which simple gestures can alter the state of an object or lead to significant consequences. In works such as “Retenue d’eau,” François establishes a connection with the materiality of plastic and water, altering the perception of both by suspending them as if they were a chandelier. This interaction creates a captivating dance of light for both the space and the viewer. François employs an economy of means to transform seemingly simple objects and materials-or traces of past events-into deeply resonant carriers of meaning.
Michel François creates a series of recent sculptural works that, without immediately revealing their origins or methods of creation, invite viewers to consider the extent to which chance or the artist’s hand played a role in their formation.
