Makeshift, stopgap, patch. A temporary solution as a placebo, replacement of tangible fragile and precarious, at times messy, patched. Almost breathe the need to remedy in a sham to more concrete manifestations , and rimasticandole riammettendole the world as never before.
According to this access key Nicolas Magnant young French artist, Venetian by adoption, at The Phoenix Gallery presents its first solo ammettendoci to a reinterpretation of the reality that surrounds us. Through a primitive attitude, sensory, directed to a return to the primordial, an automatic thought linked to the senses and the reason that escapes, it introduces the user to the result of the evocation works: figures inspired by the arbitrariness of nature or arising from material collected, found objects, deteriorated.
His imagery is opened as a large archive consists of fables, celestial events, from which emerges the idea of ??origin, in a sense, atavistic, linking his sculptures to the first human tools or her return to the drawing cave paintings revisited with markers, in a way that can remember the first drawings of childhood. Within this its vast container, all materials gathered (fabric, cardboard, canvas) are mixed and blended, as if to be preserved and cared for by their own state of neglect, being reworked through different techniques, such as printing, layering, collage, printmaking.
The tracks or marks they leave the viewer to re-read at a later time, not as copies of tangible, but as an eidolon , a ghost , a shadow that remains in spite of the physical signs are more or less disappeared, becoming now a silhouette cardboard . The paradox is resolved by Nicolas chaotic in its site-specific installation for the occasion, comes to life in space by mixing and tie, for the artist, finally develop as premises, sort of mantra that agree to possible translations of what is commonly consider reality.
