Rainier Lericolais at École supérieure des beaux-arts de Tours

exhibition · 2026-04-23

Rainier Lericolais's exhibition at the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Tours from November 18 to December 22, 2006, showcases his manipulation and recombination of forms, images, and materials to create unexpected appearances and properties. His work involves techniques such as dipping paraffin into water to create floral presences, making oscillograms from cut cardboard, diluting octopus images with water and ink, taking impressions of records on aluminum foil, and modeling wave propagation in cardboard. Lericolais focuses on the specific teaching of the minute and the prosaic, exploring peripheral realities through variations and discoveries. The exhibition is accompanied by the publication of his book 'le Dpi' by Sémiose éditions and the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Tours, which includes a CD.
