Vhils

From the gallery’s Press Release:

“In his new plastic research, Vhils is breaking new ground around the concepts of light and matter. Like floating elements, the details of his works reveal a tension between a humanistic view and the harsh reality of the world that surrounds us. Through their frozen aspect, as though they were congealed in space and time, these new works are teeming with strong emotions. From these layers of meaning superimposed on top of each other in each of the works, whether mural or sculptural pieces, a great sense of poetry filters through, one that opens up and enriches the plastic vocabulary of the artist.

For this new Parisian exhibition, he is pushing his sculptural research initiated at the start of the year at the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center even further and experimenting with new techniques to create grandiose three-dimensional works – in epoxy, laser-engraved acrylic, or even a fascinating light installation. Within the bright and elegant gallery space, Vhils ventures freely into new installation concepts. The parquet flooring brings out the transparency of the works. We walk around, have fun observing them from the side or from above, and dive into the depth of their multiple layers.”
