AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Méli Mélo is a series composed of found statues, mirrors, and decorative elements, in a spirit close to the ready-made initiated by Marcel Duchamp.
Each piece is unique.
These forms, already charged with history and symbolism, are unified through the application of a deep blue inspired by Yves Klein.
The color acts as both a veil and a statement.
It unifies, radicalizes, and suspends time.
Freed from their decorative function, the forms become pure presence—
contemplative objects, somewhere between sculpture and icon.
Méli Méli explores transformation: how a single color can shift an existing form into a silent, autonomous plastic dimension.
Alexy Berthelot, a self-taught artist living in Geneva, presents his works, sometimes figurative, abstract, or surreal: his work is based on an intimate and aesthetic universe.
His personal research leads to a poetic and imaginative view of the world.
Colorful agreements with a reduced range tend to suggest a gentle melancholy emotion and contained strength, often expressed through harmonic themes, sometimes contradictory.
