Painter at first, until the middle of the 1990s, then
sculptor, Michel Gouéry (born 1959 in Rennes, France, lives and works in Paris) practices
ceramics with mastery, employing a register that is singular to say the least. Definitely bizarre, telescoping references to artists of the past, to
Dada, to
Surrealism, to great writers, as well as to the minor registers of
science fiction cinema and comics, his work cultivates the anti-conformist, the incongruous and the perverse, without neglecting the perfect quality of the material.
