Claire-Jeanne Jézéquel's Sculptural Installations at Galerie Jean Fournier

Claire-Jeanne Jézéquel's solo exhibition at Galerie Jean Fournier in Paris, from January 10 to February 23, 2013, presented works that hover between sculpture, installation, and assemblage. The show featured pieces from her Sketches series, initiated in 2009, which incorporate plasterboard trays, metal rails, and porous surfaces soaked in colored ink washes. Notably, Sketch n° 13 (2012), a large red sketch, was reconfigured into an angled installation after its earlier linear display at Les Tanneries d'Amilly. The exhibition's layout guided viewers through a trajectory that highlighted the works' ability to transcend the architecture. Jézéquel's practice, often associated with minimal art, was described as offering a destabilizing fictive fragility that contrasts with the assertive modernism of sculptors like Anthony Caro.
