The sculptures of Camille Blatrix are inspired by the mass-produced objects that surround us, but are made using traditional techniques and exquisite handcraft. The results are objects imbued with inexplicable affect and evoking machines whose use remains cryptic. Perhaps devices from the near future?
The exhibition Standby Mice Station is supported by the Ernst und Olga Gubler-Hablützel Stiftung and the French Embassy in Switzerland and Liechtenstein and is co-produced with the Centre d'art contemporain - la synagogue de Delme.
Camille Blatrix (b.1984, Paris, France) lives and works in Paris. Blatrix graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 2014, he was awarded the Prix Fondation d’entreprise Ricard and the Prix des Amis des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Recent solo exhibitions include: Les Barrières de l’Antique, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès, Brussels (2019), Art Unlimited, Art Basel (2019), and Fortune, Lafayette Anticipations, Paris (2019).
