Dominique Ghesquière

The works of Dominique Ghesquiere (born 1953 in Pensacola, USA, lives and works in Paris) come from everyday objects. They give rise to aberrations, errors in judgement due to a discreet illusionism which invites us to sharpen our perception, in order to disabuse our hasty and automatic comprehension of things. The works contain the trace of a tension between the object and its artistic double. This tension, which is associated with the way in which each piece is installed in the exhibition venue, constitutes their way of being, fragile presences with a strong conceptual and emotional impact.
