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.

38 X 17 X 10 CM

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.

A restrained, colorful palette tends to suggest a gentle melancholy, emotion and strength held in check, often by harmonic themes, sometimes contradictory.
