Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a stark contrast between the soft, delicate plaster sculpture of a human head and the rugged, natural rock upon which it rests. The smooth, intricate features of the sculpture are juxtaposed against the rough, earthy stone, creating a striking visual tension. The addition of the rope suspending the sculpture above the pedestal further emphasizes the fragility of the artistic form. This piece likely explores themes of the human condition, the transitory nature of life, and the interplay between the natural and the artificial. The artist's intention may be to challenge the viewer's perceptions and evoke deeper contemplation on the human experience. ...

Théo Mercier
Artist
Théo Mercier
B.1984, French

Sculptor and stage director, Théo Mercier works on the relation between the work and its environment. In his installations, he mixes his own sculptures with objects or artifacts he collected over his travels, and seeks to create a real choreography of the eye for the viewer. The diversity of the collections thus gathered is an image of what globalization is ; their arrangement evokes a certain archeology of the future where strangeness, poetry and humor emerge from unusual reconciliations. ...

Gallery
mor charpentier
Paris, Bogotá

Established in Paris since 2010, mor charpentier represents both emerging and well-established artists whose conceptual practices are anchored in social realities, history and the politics of contrasting geographic regions. By promoting international practices, the gallery aims to broaden the knowledge of crucial debates of the present. A significant inaugural show with Colombian master, Oscar Muñoz, fulfilled a void in the French artistic scene by broadening the spectrum of origins, subjects and identities in the art market. Ever since, a growing number of major international artists have joined the gallery. Coming from different generations and global backgrounds, they all share a commitment to either political, feminist, post-colonial, queer or human rights causes. Amongst them are Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Teresa Margolles, Chen Ching-Yuan, Liliana Porter, Bouchra Khalili, Carlos Motta, Hajra Waheed, and more. Equal gender representation and diversity is also part of the gallery goals, with half of the represented artists being women. In 2021 mor charpentier opened a second exhibition space in Bogotá. This expansion was driven to expand the reach of the gallery program to new publics and encourage artists to explore new territories. It consolidated a long-term bond with the Latin American art scene and the international projection of the gallery. ...
