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.

29 x 6 x 6 cm base

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 reading of the world look.

Colorful agreements, with a reduced range, tend to suggest a gentle melancholy, a restrained strength, often framed by harmonious themes, sometimes contradictory.
