Francis Baudevin
Galerie Art:Concept, Paris
Baudevin uses in his art what constitutes the framework of our most direct visual surroundings: he paints on canvas, or on the wall, making industriel packing lay-outs of daily use ten times larger. He confronts with a touch of irony abstract painting to its decorative and merchant fate. He anticipates and takes advantage of the recuperation process in order to ridicule it.
Guess Who I Saw in Paris.
Francis Baudevin was born in 1964. He lives and works in Geneva (Switzerland). Francis Baudevin uses in his art what constitutes the framework of our most direct visual surroundings: he paints on canvas, or on the wall, making industriel packing lay-outs of daily use ten times larger (with a preference for pharmaceutical and pastry packages). He only keeps the formal structure of the original image, discarding all textual elements.
Although, the compositions that come out of this are certainly strongly related to purely geometrical abstract painting, his work is yet figurative; in a way he makes the portrait of conditionings and this word should be understood with all its meanings: the wraping as well as the adjustment of behaviours. Francis Baudevin confronts with a touch of irony abstract painting to its decorative and merchant fate. He anticipates and takes advantage of the recuperation process in order to ridicule it.
