Since 1995, dealing with genetic topics has become a kind of an obsession. Above curating a group exhibition in Canada, I have realized multiple drawings, paintings, mural assemblies and installations turning around the link between art and genetics. After Switzerland, Paris and Liechtenstein, exhibitions have followed in the province of Quebec, Montréal, Ottawa and in Southern France (Vence). With and within my art-work I want to evoke messages within a conceptual and esthetic satisfactory frame. I try to avoid the seducing track of pure forms and empty poetics. Manipulation is a key-word within my current work. I try to play around political and genetic subjects by manipulating ideas and images. In this context, I realize mostly mixed-media art works and wall-or space installations. In my newest work, I manipulate photo-collages by computer, sometimes by integrating real plants or objects within a mini-installation. The actual word-painting, often integrated in mural assemblies, turns mostly around genetics in a very ironical way (exhibition in Montreal/1999). |
