Eric Baudart creates singular images from trivial elements and objects (erasers, dust, ground meat…). The artist gives birth to enigmatic sculptural images whose materiality is sublimated. Removed from their original world, the objects take on a new visual status.
Concave stems from blocks made of layers upon layers of unrecorded concert bills, pasted outside official locations, and which the artist worked hard to retrieve all over the town.
Being only interested in the shape of this heap, Eric Baudart repaints each of these bills with a single colour, so that the whole pile, now entirely covered, gives birth to a new object.
