Luc Andrié's 'Ce qui lui reste de graisse' at Frac Languedoc-Roussillon

The exhibition 'Ce qui lui reste de graisse' by Luc Andrié was held at Frac Languedoc-Roussillon in Montpellier from October 22 to December 17, 2005. The title appears on the poster below the names of political figures Michel Thénault, Henri Talvat, and Georges Frêche. Andrié, who previously worked in abstraction and film for ten years, now paints with acrylic in pale tones. His work is described as 'extraterritorial,' not fitting current painting theories. The title references animal fat, alluding to Joseph Beuys's famous fat chair. Andrié's subjects include still lifes of stacked mattresses and Delsey suitcases, as well as awkward nude figures. Critic Joerg Bader notes that the painting's energy comes from its stupid subjects and poorly painted quality, creating a sense of global unease.
