Description
This sculptural artwork features a large, round ceramic vessel with a textured, earthy surface. The piece is suspended by a network of ropes and strings, which create a sense of movement and tension. Decorative elements, such as small stones and pods, are attached to the ropes, adding visual interest and a natural, organic quality to the composition. The overall impression is one of a suspended, almost levitating form, which suggests a connection between the earthly and the ethereal. The artist's intention seems to be exploring themes of balance, transformation, and the interplay between natural and man-made elements. ...

B.1984, FrenchSculptor and stage director, Théo Mercier works on the relation between the work and its environment.

mor charpentier
Paris, BogotáEstablished 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.

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. ...
