Sculptures

The 17th-century opulence of the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins is a striking backdrop for Jean-Charles de Quillacq’s sculptures. Bread, cigarette butts and automotive coolant share the space with the museum's permanent works and several organic forms, stretched or at rest, lying on polystyrene supports that retain traces of their manufacture. Jean-Charles de Quillacq's research focuses on the body and its representations, its materials and interactions, and its social organization. Partially nude mannequins, jeans stretched over a fibreglass pelvis, chemical reconstitutions of the artist's own sweat, these representations act as metaphors for the unstable and ambiguous nature of capitalism.
