Michel François Joins Art : Concept Gallery Roster
Concept gallery in Paris has welcomed Belgian artist Michel François to its lineup. François, who was born in Sint-Truiden, Belgium in 1956, currently resides and creates in Brussels. Since the 1980s, he has cultivated a multidisciplinary approach focused on sculpture, which influences his photography, video work, installations, performances, curatorial efforts, and more recent paintings. His art is marked by a thorough examination of space, matter, volume, and form conditions. Rather than viewing artworks as standalone entities, François sees them as interconnected, engaging with the exhibition environment. This results in a dynamic setting of interdependencies, driven by an organic, rhizomatic logic. The gallery's announcement underscores his continuous exploration of the material and conceptual limits of art.
