Un baume radical: Dezoteux, Passieux, Pingeot at Galerie Bernard Jordan
The exhibition 'Un baume radical' at Galerie Bernard Jordan in Paris brings together works by Bertrand Dezoteux, Olivier Passieux, and Benoît Pingeot, running until March 17, 2021. The show explores themes of moisture and mystery through a fountain-sculpture by Passieux that sprays mist against the gallery window, a painting titled 'Whüsschh' featuring a hotel shower transformed into Niagara Falls, and Dezoteux's video 'La Prison des poètes' blending real footage from the first 2020 lockdown in Bayonne's Marracq district with 3D animations of dancing figures in sludge. Pingeot's drawings and paintings include a recurring motif of Victor Brauner with a milk droplet on his lips and a fiery tongue on his bald head, referencing the lactation iconography of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. The exhibition oscillates between weight and lightness, evoking eroticism, flânerie, and the sacred.
