Galerie Isabelle Gounod

For his new solo exhibition at Isabelle Gounod Gallery, Florent Lamouroux presents a series of human-sized sculptures, created by modeling his own body in an assemblage of bin bags and taps. The arrangement of these artificial, standardized and apparently petrified empty bodies is also an echo to Lamouroux’s “dry-cries,” the low-quality toys that the artist reduces to simple dark silhouettes, as though embalmed in their own plastic skin. The artist’s work presents a sensible and poetic way to explore the impact and implications of marketing strategies on various facets of human behavior.
