King Houndekpinkou: Gravity, 2020

The exhibition explores Gravity with great sensitivity and poetry: the physical law that brings every being back to earth.

Inspired by animist cultures, particularly from Japan and Benin, King continues his spiritual and artistic quest. Through these creations, he questions the concept of earthly attraction to which the living is permanently subjected, without even being aware of it.

Thinking about gravity, extricating oneself from the materiality of daily life, and making everyone become aware of the surrounding vital forces. An ode to craftsmanship, the works presented are composed of different shapes which, once dissociated from each other, reveal the elementary forms of pottery.

Beware, if gravity brings anchoring, rooting, it also implies the risk of falling, of crashing.

King surprises us with new works, strange and very expressive assemblages of heteroclite creations, halfway between the organic and the vegetal form.

We then leave the universalism of the main theme as each piece has its own identity and exerts on the viewer a peculiar attraction. Each one has its own energy, its own gravity : this fatal force attracting the viewer, speaking to him and gives rise to their emotion.

Exhibition at Galerie Vallois, Paris, 2020

Bhat's work explores the entangled relationship between the human and non-human, between the constructed and the inherent. She often introduces radical but somehow familiar forms to suggest the complex interplay between landscape, human, and non-human forms.
