Galerie Marguo

The Contemplations series featured in Laurent Pernot’s Paris exhibition is a new body of multimedia paintings incorporating various materials in reference to a collection of poems by Victor Hugo. Each painting features wood and marble meticulously cut into various shapes, which blend with colors and pictorial gestures, weaving a sensitive relationship between a material dating back millions of years and the paint hand applied by the artist. The multiple temporalities intermingle and suggest in the whole series a dialogue between the poetics of impermanence and the poetics of temporality..
