Description
"I work to reveal the depth of a material we never look at".
ARTON (Laurent Lecuelle) takes fragments of used cardboard, bearing traces, codes and impacts. These marks are integrated as signs of a material and human history. By cutting, tearing, assembling and monochroming, he reveals what the eye no longer sees: the vibration of materials and textures, the depth of grooves, the fragility of a support sculpted by light.
Here, light is an actor in its own right. It glides, catches, erases and reinvents. Depending on the angle, the work unfolds differently, as if it were breathing. This constant dialogue between relief and luminosity creates a moving, almost meditative experience.
Through this exhibition, ARTON questions our relationship with reality, with consumption, with what we throw away without thinking about it. He sublimates the ordinary, transforms the ephemeral into the permanent, and reminds us that beauty can emerge where we least expect it.
