Sylvie Fleury presents new sculptures exploring consumerism and gender at Thaddaeus Ropac

Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury is currently exhibiting new works at Thaddaeus Ropac gallery. The show features recent sculptures from one of her ongoing series, including lacquered fiberglass pieces depicting crossed legs that appear suspended on walls, resembling partial mannequin forms. These leg sculptures are accessorized with coats from a high-end fashion brand, continuing Fleury's long-standing practice of incorporating luxury consumer goods into her art. The exhibition also includes neon works spanning two decades of the artist's exploration of this medium. Since the 1990s, Fleury has consistently examined themes of material desire, aesthetic value, and consumer culture through appropriation and recontextualization of commercial items. Her work provides critical perspectives on contemporary issues surrounding gender, beauty standards, and consumption patterns. The exhibition demonstrates Fleury's continued engagement with the legacy of readymade art while addressing current sociopolitical concerns through visually striking objects.
