About the artwork
On green blotting paper, probably preserved from the artist's childhood, blooms a collage in which herbarium flowers surround a black-and-white photograph of a monastery, as if from a learning book. At the bottom of the work, a poetic text, partially erased, evokes the links between man, nature and the senses. On the left, the signature "Gabriel Folli 6.2" recalls the school documents marked with the name and class of the student, now artist. A singular signature for a work of art. From these fragments of images, words and flowers emerges a composition imbued with poetry, rooted in a personal history and a territory.
Expert opinion
Personal history, universal history, local history, all come together here to offer a poetic and rooted reading of Gabriel Folli's work. A remarkable aesthetic unity emerges from the fragmentary.
About the artist
Gabriel Folli is a French contemporary artist born in 1990. He lives and works in Dijon (France).
In his multimedia work, in which drawing plays a central role, Gabriel Folli aims to give back to images the power they seem to have lost over time. His approach draws on literary, cinematographic, historical and philosophical references, reflecting a personal and intuitive reading of the environment. By blending image and textual narrative, he strikes a delicate balance between reality and fiction, where the art of the fragment becomes central to his approach.
Winner of the 2023 saison du Dessin Nord / Sud as part of the 10th edition of PAREIDOLIE, Gabriel Folli has also exhibited at the Frac Grand Large and the Frac Picardie. His work has been presented by the La Ferronnerie and Sator galleries.
“I collect, inventory, assemble, construct and deconstruct forms, play with formats. From transposed images to collage experiments, I contemplate a harmony bordering on chaos.”
