JEAN-LUC MOULÈNE

Conceived like a scale model, Jean-Luc Moulène‘s fifth solo exhibition at Galerie Greta Meert addresses visitors and passerby alike. In a series of assemblages titled with the affirmation OUI, the artist combines axe handles, shovel sticks, turned wood pieces and dibbers into non-hierarchal structures. The handles that usually give objects their orientation are turned inward, imbricated, and joint together. These multidirectional structures populate the street-level gallery space like loosely untangled knots, they are at once self- contained and rhizomatic—visual manifestations of thought made tangible. Positioned in-between all things, his assemblages act as transmitters, they create links without ligatures. With different ink colours and resin coatings, these two and three-dimensional constructions evoke the practice of drawing by delineating pictorial planes and mapping out architectural volumes.
