François Bel

acrylic glass and decomposed object

14cm x 40cm x 10cm

Unique piece

Subverting the meaning of everyday objects to critique today's overwhelming consumer culture, François Bel draws on a range of influences from Street Art and Graffiti to New Realism, Pop Art and Dada. Bel is best known for his "Big Bang" series of sculptures, which magically suspend exploding objects, freezing these watches, cameras or paint cans in acrylic glass. Locked in time at a moment that shows their disintegration, the captured destruction gives physical form to the anxieties of the modern age. Bel evokes the inevitability of time passing while reminding us of the importance of living in the present.

About the artist

Portrait

François Bel

François Bel is a multi-disciplinary French artist who uses a variety of art forms, from painting to sculpture to installation. His art is as eclectic as his inspirations. Bel is influenced by Street Art, from which he borrows the system of repetition and variation. He is also interested in the "Nouveau Réalisme" movements, which have a particular impact on him, as well as Dada and Pop Art, for the way they hijack everyday objects to criticize today's consumer society, following the example of Duchamp's ready-mades. Every medium used by François Bel serves an artistic and philosophical purpose. His series of small "Big Bangs" in synthetic acrylic, as if frozen in the ultimate moment of grace of the explosion, makes us reflect on the passage of time, which we waste and which undeniably outlives us. In a society where everything moves faster and faster, and where man controls many things, François Bel crystallizes everyone's dreams by stopping time for a moment in his works. A mixture of frustration and fascination, his sculptures mirror our civilization, our anger and our revolt, imprisoned and confined within economic, cultural, social and political contexts.
