Co-presented by Edouard Malingue Gallery and Galerie Valentin, Eric Baudart is exhibiting a sculpture in FIAC’s public sector in the Jardins des Tuileries. Part of his Cubikron series, the sculpture, composed of metallic bedsprings arranged to form a cuboidal structure, toys with the ordinary object’s skeletal properties: placed one on top of another, the coils weave an intricate visual maze of dark silver juxtapositions. Delicately transposed, it’s the displaced materiality in Eric Baudart’s works that spurs their contemporary resonance; everyday, commonplace elements are flushed of everyday context and repurposed to create oeuvres that titter on the edge of artifice.
