In its scenographic approach, with the complicity of Galerie Slika, Poliform Lyon by RBC, explores here the characteristics of the artists by appropriating their work, playing with their representations in order to seize another dimension.
In a decor both sober and motionless, the 3 artists exposed offer a visual narrative where the works and the place come to life to form a scene with sometimes contemporary, sometimes upcycled influences, always with a touch of humor and casualness.
The dialogue between the powerful and dissonant works of each of the invited artists and the unique character of the place, underline with force their respective aesthetic singularity.
A step aside for the single-brand showroom Poliform Lyon, which proposes a new way to explore contemporary art, both friendly and offbeat.
The works, specifically designed for the Poliform Lyon showroom, will be sold exclusively during the exhibition.

Exhibition from September 29 to November 18

Installation De la fragilité d’une idée à la matérialité

RBC Confluence - Cube Orange

The installation aims to show the fragility of an idea before it becomes a tangible design product.
From the thought, to the first sketch, to the development process, to the final product. An idea/concept can quickly get lost along the way. Once an idea begins to move through the various stages, it's a matter of making sure the "design intent" doesn't get lost.
"Very few ideas are turned into reality, most don't even make it to the sketch phase!"says Alain Gilles.
Bleached furniture has its sketches superimposed, turning them into what appear to be fragile, surreal pieces defined by only a few lines.
Above the furniture pieces, the components float in the air as a symbol of the thought process and the birth of those first fragile and ill-defined concepts.
As a symbol of the different sources of personal and external inspirations that give birth to a concept. The backdrop represents the sheet of paper that floats in the air to finally merge into the white pedestal. Fragility and lightness melt into the solidity of the base to become a tangible reality.
This backdrop and the base symbolize the process of transforming an idea into a material reality.The function of the white backdrop is also to isolate the piece from the rest of the space and to create a kind of space within the space, as if one were inside the mind, between dream and reality.
