Influenced by land art, for a long time Charles Pétillon thought that the ephemeral nature of his installations was the only way to preserve their gentleness and poetry, and that switching to more permanent works would bring them back to their ordinary status as objects.
About
A new milestone in the artist’s trajectory, the show “Modulations Domestiques” presents from April 16 to June 4, 2022 at Danysz Paris - Marais, the evolution of the work of Charles Pétillon in recent years, as a growing emphasis was placed on sculpture.
While his previous exhibitions at Danysz gallery allowed us to get acquainted with a poetic universe involving enigmatic white balloons in environments often devoid of human presence, with this new artistic proposition spanning original photographs and light sculptures, the artist brings about a yet unexplored “point of view,” to paraphrase the title of a work.
Born in 1973, Charles Pétillon is a French artist known for his creations at the crossroad of photography, installations and sculpture. His works have been presented in many important institutions such the Maison de la Photographie in Lille, France, the Sinnka Museum in Kerava, Finland, or the Times Art Museum in Beijing. Often solicited for projects in the public space, his large-scale in situ works include monumental installations at the Covent Garden in London, in Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, at the National Opera in Bordeaux, or in the French department Eure during Heritage Days 2021. He lives in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, France.
