The Le Réservoir gallery’s back-to-school exhibition is on display until November 23.
Deconstruct to better rebuild. Break, glue, grind, weld… This fall, the Sète gallery Le Réservoir is offering a new exhibition, aptly named (De)constructionvisible from Tuesday to Saturday, until November 23. Seven artists, architects of raw imaginations, present their works, the mediums of which are as varied as their styles and ideas: wood, plexiglass, canvas, cement, etc.

Thomas Canto thus combines in his works paintings and nylon threads, which defragment his work, segment the space and offer the viewer a multi-layered vision of urban reality. Optical illusions with very futuristic accents. Photographer and visual artist evolving between Paris and Montpellier, Jules Hidrot, also, provokes the questioning of the viewer, by blurring, with his photographs of upside-down urban landscapes, his landmarks.
Jean Denant from Sète, for whom “deconstruction is a natural theme”, presents several works in which he indicates having “wanted to question the theme of hard walls, whether physical or psychological.” Another woman from Sète, the only woman in the exhibition, Éléna Salah works on ruins and the notion of trauma. In addition to her photos printed on Canson paper, some of the contours of which she scratches out, the artist also presents ceramics reproducing pieces of ruins.
Mathieu Bureau, Olivier Secretan and Julien Barriol (or NoLuck) complete this exhibition which questions the process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction.
