Abstracta / NB / Concreta

<p>The work cannot be grasped in one glance, it escapes the gaze and looks like the result of an explosion that has left the space, walls, floor and ceiling covered in fragments and motifs. Florentine Lamarche and Alexandre Ovize’s creations are totally heterogeneous. Rarely have so many materials and gestures been used to confront oppositions of textures, forms and colours. Their works cannot be read. They are visual shocks that create irrational, madcap territories in the actual space of the exhibition. They borrow from painting and sculpture, yet foil the aesthetic codes of their representation to engage them more in installations, where a sharp sense of the accidental reigns supreme. Contrary to all expectations, this fall-art only hangs momentarily in this work-in-duo which Florentine Lamarche and Alexandre Ovize construct in continuous flow, and in which everything that composes their work, past and future, becomes but one unit of time.</p>
