By cutting out parts of fashion magazines to create abstract compositions, the young French artist Clement Rodzielski reveals the way our clichés of comfort, beauty and dream are pervasively anchored in our readers’ minds. No information here – the titles and texts have been removed – except for bits of images from articles and advertisements. The most illustrative of these images are often views of wild nature, or decorated interiors, two fields that are now commonly associated with well-being. All this, of course, is (voluntarily) all the more fake than it is beautiful.For those who can, some of Rodzielski’s cut magazines will be shown at Chantal Crousel booth during Artissima Fair.
