Thomas Lélu / Overlaps

From April 2nd to May 7th, 2016

Thomas Lélu is one of the few artists today who can appeal to your sense of humor by triggering a smile or a laugh and that already makes a huge difference.

Thomas is a visual artist but also an art director, essayist and novelist. He has published 5 books in the last ten years (the most recent being Les Tribulations de Arthur Show published by Léo Sheer). His first book, Le Manuel de La Photo Ratée, is one of the most hilarious publications in contemporary art.

In this series entitled Overlaps, he extracts from different magazines, pages of portraits of icons, personalities from popular culture and the world of fashion that he rubs shoulders with. Lélu precisely juxtaposes selected objects from his daily routine, and super-positions them, exactly where the tension is revealed. Through his photographs, Thomas Lélu gives us a second look at the images he manipulates by creating a filter, a distancing as if to distance them from a world that is too real.

For the opening of the exhibition Overlaps by Thomas Lélu and in the context of the Salon Art Paris…Saturday April 2nd the gallery will be exceptionally open to the public from 4pm to 9:30pm. Then, by appointment only from Monday to Saturday until May 10th, 2016.
