Xavier Veilhan's Encyclopedic Image World
Xavier Veilhan assembles an encyclopedic world of images within a singular narrative space that takes on the dimensions of the exhibition venue, casting the viewer as narrator. These object lessons bring together items such as airplanes, bridges, and houses, as well as animals including horses, dogs, fish, marmots, and penguins. Whether sculpted or drawn, these subjects share a focus on silhouette, creating the impression of illustrations gathered on a single encyclopedic plate.
