Clément Rodzielski

  • Like many artists of his generation, Clément Rodzielski is a well-informed observer who works with existing images in order to reveal their mechanisms of construction and circulation. But he concentrates in particular on images which are under our eyes but not seen any longer (motifs found on internet, murals in the urban settings) or don't circulate (retro cinema posters). Based on these images, he isolates motifs or signs, multiplies different supports and gestures in order to reveal their materiality (wall painting, collage, cut-outs, photocopies, stencil, spray paint) and reframe them so they can be better seen. Making abstract images and de-contextualizing them enables better attention on their pictoriality. Repeating the same operations in order to exhaust any possibilities of a gesture, Rodzielski's practice involves numerous series.
