Lionel Scoccimaro explores play and darker themes across three French exhibitions
Lionel Scoccimaro's work, rich in interpretations, explores the notion of play through depictions of octogenarians engaged in childish activities, ephemeral sugar architectures, and young women posing with customized roly-poly toys, yet also hints at darker intentions. Following exhibitions last autumn in the Pyrénées at Image/imatge in Orthez, at the École supérieure des arts et de la communication (ESAC) in Pau, and at the Chapelle Saint-Jacques in Saint-Gaudens (until February 23), the artist will next show at VF Galerie in Marseille from March 22 to April 26.
