Djeziri-Bonn-Linard gallery and Baudoin Lebon gallery have the pleasure to present Michel Duport art works: plaster volumes and paintings, show in Djeziri-Bonn-Linard gallery, and bronze art works, show in Baudoin Lebon gallery, will represent the creative world of the artist.
Support ? surface movement ? Ecole de Paris ?
A wall ? A shift ? A shelf ? An accumulation ? A displacement ? A Lego ? A logo ? Duplo elements ? The stairs ? The lightness ? A Tangram ?
Cézanne?s White, Van Gogh?s round yellow, lightweight constructions, a light-and-shadow game.
All these different words and ideas concern Michel Duport art work.
Actually, Michel Duport art work isn?t based on the relation between painting and sculpture but on the transformation of the painting into sculpture. Sculptures, little objects fixed on the wall ? just like paintings -, can be related to polymorphous architecture founded on Poliakoff two-dimensional paintings. Michel Duport sculptures are the perfect pretext to the three-dimensional paintings that integrate shadow as a colour and colours? play of light.
The sliding shapes, the confrontation of different volumes bring out all the questions linked to the painting.
On the other hand, the way art works are placed on the wall is a matter of sculpture (plus precisely, is a matter of low-relief and high-relief). Through the questioning brought to the public by way of play of volumes and shadows, Michel Duport proposes another point of view to the spectator.
This backwards and forwards movement is even more emphasized by the fact that Michel Duport art works will be exhibit in two different places.
