Jacques Villeglé

Regardez comme un adolescent, un sauvageon, I ask the young man: Jacques Villeglé whose works of art have something adolescent, rebellious - a youth striving for freedom, by using ripped political posters, tearing them up and pasting them into hallucinating colorful objects - rolls his eyes and smirks. Espiègle.

A fourth episode in a series called "Lacéré Anonyme", a sort of 'saga', that included his work on words, images, he concludes with political posters, claiming not to be political at all. His collages "Politiques" of recovered graphic art from the late 1950s till the late 20th century are there as a testimony of our times. The galerie George-Philippe  is moving, ça bouge!

If you wish to take a look at another form of recovery-collage, the galerie Marion Meyer at 15 rue Guénegaud has a show of Swiss artist Arthus Aeschbacher. His works from the 1960s mirrored by his more mature work from 2005. Excellent.
