Biography
The work of French artist Elodie Huet is marked by simplicity and the economy of material and shape. She uses objects from daily life and places them into unexpected situations, giving each a voice through sensitive experiences. However, this quest to essentiality arises from an ironic creation, an initial illusion. This intentional decoy urges the artist to repeat precisely and to create “for nothing and forever“.
It’s the difficult wisdom allowed by the absurd thoughts. Elodie Huet unites, questions, goes across, around, and tears down the globalized form and color codings made up by man for our domestic living. An object’s unsubstantiated aspect plays a major role. Implying the esthetic potential of every object, she jokingly plays with chain made materials and makes amusing links between philosophy and pragmatism.
Moreover, she questions the place of art in our everyday lives. We need to choose if art is essential to man or merely entertainment, decoration or a commercial item. By finding out the cultural background that is hidden behind the notion we may have of an object and so trying to establish how an object would present itself to us clean, uninterpreted, Elodie Huet is on a mission to decipher the multiple points of view that man has on objects and materials.
