‘Being’

Benoît Maire @ Hollybush Gardens, Mar 13 – Apr 12

13 March 2014

Paris-based artist Benoît Maire is presenting solo exhibition, Being, at London’s Hollybush Gardens, opening Mar 13 and running to April 12.

Inspired by 16th century artist and theorist Albrecht Dürer‘s ‘table’ and giving “the image the power of the concept and the concept the power of the image”, pictorial references from Da Vinci to Man Ray are expressed through a flow of images, situated outside of hierarchy and recontextualised in a sculptural installation.

All the while retaining the possibility for interpretation in a space where images are still “to be read” and “words seen”.

See the Hollybush Gardens website for details. **
