The artist reflects on the status and place of the object in both the consumer industry and the field of art. His research is reflected in a constant questioning of the symbolic and utilitarian functions of these objects. The result is a no-holds-barred attitude towards these products and their references to art history (constructivism, geometric abstraction, minimalism, etc.).
His works speak as much of materiality as immateriality, and open up formally to a polysemy that tends towards a referential analogy.
These forms of gestural abstraction have been transposed onto cut-out paper. In this series, the drawing of the ephemeral has congealed and materialized. It has even taken on colors, those usually attributed to furniture or ice cream.
