———————————————————————-
VERNISSAGE LE VENDREDI 14 OCTOBRE à partir de 18H.
EXPOSITION DU 14/10 au 13/11.
“Pour sa première exposition personnelle intitulée ‘L’Instant T’, Benjamin Renoux vous invite à découvrir l’évolution de ses recherches, à travers différentes séries de travaux où la photographie, la peinture et la sculpture se mêlent et s’hybrident les unes aux autres.
À l’instant T, l’image est dévoilée à un moment de crise. Il s’émane des œuvres présentées une étrange dualité esthétique inspirée de la sensualité de la peinture romantique et de la radicalité de l’art minimal.
L’artiste crée entre les médiums une relation instable, une lutte continuelle faite de paradoxes esthétiques et conceptuels. L’exposition est le théâtre de fantômes virtuels, de souvenirs à l’agonie, baignant dans une atmosphère profondément méditative . Les photographies sont les images avalées des corps qui ont été, et qui ne seront jamais plus. Sous nos yeux, l’existence angoissée, recroquevillée dans sa coquille, se dirige lentement vers l’état fossile.
Benjamin Renoux a remporté le prix Chic Art Fair 2010.
Il vit et travaille à Paris.” J.G.
Commissariat : Juliette Giovannoni
Catalogue d’exposition : 15 euros.

PRIVATE VIEW 14 Oct. 6pm
Opening 14/10 to 13/11
We are pleased to present “L’Instant T”, an exhibition of new work by Benjamin Renoux in his first solo show at the Salaisons.
“Benjamin Renoux invites you to discover the evolution of his research, through works wich combine photography, painting and sculpture. Through series of processes, the artist manipulates and distorts those mediums to explore the fragility of things as temporal elements with no fixed nature.
The exhibition entitled “the Instant” is a meditation on the ephemeral and inevitable disapearance of things. From his work emanates a strange aesthetic duality, inspired both by the sensuality of Romantic painting and the radicality of Minimal Art. Richly influenced by historical and tradional practices, his work highlights Human being’s existence and questions its boundaries.
The exhibition is the scene of virtual ghosts, memories in agony, symbols of the cruel fall of things into oblivion.
Benjamin Renoux won Chic Art Fair’s Prize in 2010.
He lives and works in Paris. ” J.G
Curator : Juliette Giovannoni
