JOËL DEGBO

Äyopa II

SEPTIEME GALLERY, PARIS, FRANCE

march 15, 2022 – APRIL 23, 2022

Àγορά II (Agora in Latin letters) is Joël Degbo’s second solo exhibition, following Agora I, (specify place and date). This time, Joël Degbo has shared his creative process with his brother, Jean-Luc Degbo, urban architect. Together, they plunged into the heart of their childhood neighborhood, Bon Pasteur, in Villepinte in the 93 (a suburb of Paris), to propose a joint view. While Joël Degbo continues the exploration for which he is known through painting, he wishes to assert himself as a protean artist and give his vision a multitude of forms and mediums (modeling, videos, installations, drawings) in order to apprehend his subject under its various facets. This is how, for Joel, the patrimonialization of his childhood environment will be made possible by connections and interconnections.

Ces objets délaissés témoignent d’un territoire, liés au poignet ils révèlent leurs histoires, l’ouïe par le toucher libère la mémoire.

 

Fer de Terre, est une œuvre tactile et sonore qui propose une immersion dans le sujet des peintures de Joël Degbo. Le bracelet enfilé autour du poignet permet l’activation de l’environnement sonore de l’endroit où chaque objet a été ramassé dans le quartier de Pasteur à Villepinte.
