François Bel

acrylic glass and decomposed object

20cm x 50cm x 10cm

Unique piece

François Bel is a painter, sculptor and installation artist who uses found and recycled objects to critique the materialism and individualism of contemporary society. He imagines weightless worlds suspended in silence. The illusion is perfect. Everyday objects, which he dissects and encrusts into translucent blocks, open up the fascinating world of a parallel dimension. Destructured watches, torn paint cans or tubes of paint in levitation, he freezes the ultimate moment of disintegration, of action. Inaccessible moments, which he makes appear by stopping time.

About the artist

Portrait

François Bel

François Bel is a multi-disciplinary French artist who uses a variety of art forms, from painting to sculpture to installation. His art is as eclectic as his inspirations. Bel is influenced by Street Art, from which he borrows the system of repetition and variation. He is also interested in the "Nouveau Réalisme" movements, which have a particular impact on him, as well as Dada and Pop Art, for the way they hijack everyday objects to criticize today's consumer society, following the example of Duchamp's ready-mades. Every medium used by François Bel serves an artistic and philosophical purpose. His series of small "Big Bangs" in synthetic acrylic, as if frozen in the ultimate moment of grace of the explosion, makes us reflect on the passage of time, which we waste and which undeniably outlives us. In a society where everything moves faster and faster, and where man controls many things, François Bel crystallizes everyone's dreams by stopping time for a moment in his works. A mixture of frustration and fascination, his sculptures mirror our civilization, our anger and our revolt, imprisoned and confined within economic, cultural, social and political contexts.
