CYPRIEN GAILLARD

“I’m interested in things failing, in the beauty of failure, and the fall in general,” says 28-year-old mixed-media artist Cyprien Gaillard, who clearly has a healthy appetite for destruction. He’s also garnered quite a following for his brand of high-grade vandalism, a frequent target being the hulking modernist apartment complexes that sprung up in postwar European capitals with the promise of creating harmonic urban living. Gaillard loves these architectural failures—in 2008 he even recycled blasted cement from a housing-project demolition by turning it into a grand Egyptian-style cenotaph for a show in London. "

‘Photography, in the creation of the image, is an effect performed upon the object, by a photographer. It is a caress. It is a personal testament, a set of subjective mysteries. A use of image as metaphor for the act of looking.’

Installation view. 'Stones Don't Move' by Jose Davila @ Sean Kelly New York.

Jose Davila's second solo exhibition entitled 'Stones Don't Move' with Sean Kelly in New York is showing until 3rd of December, and features his cut-out works, mobiles, glass and marble floor structures and works on paper - truly divine and fulfilling addition to the artist long list of institutional accomplishments. Definitely not to miss while in New York!

This mega talented Mexican-born artist's practice is located in the boundaries of homage, imitation and critique. You might be thinking "What the hell does that mean exactly?'" - Well, he says that In a sort of mirage, he uses different reproduction strategies to dismantle the relation between form and content, as well as manifest the virtues and deficiencies of his references.  Frequently, the nature of these materials approaches architecture and construction, as well as formal artistic production, which subscribes his work to principles coined by Minimalism and Arte Povera.  Images courtesy of the artist, Galeria OMR & Galleri Nicolai Wallner.
