Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a monochromatic, high-contrast image of an ancient Roman bust. The sculptural subject's face is partially obscured by a white square, drawing attention to the intricate, textured hairstyle and the strong features of the subject. The use of chiaroscuro lighting and the stark black background create a dramatic, contemplative mood. The artwork appears to engage with themes of identity and the concealment or erasure of individuality, possibly commenting on the role of art and portraiture in preserving or obscuring the subject's identity. The classical style and subject matter suggest a dialogue with the artistic traditions of the past. ...

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.

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. ...
