Description
With Saw, Sex & Sun #5, Léo Cilas continues a series initiated more than ten years ago, in which he repurposes old saw blades to make them complete works of art.
Marked by their first life and by the work for which they were designed, these blades become the support of a new language. To the industrial, functional object usually hidden in the workshop, the artist offers a second existence: that of an object now displayed, looked at, and highlighted.
Painted with aerosol, the blade embraces the geometric shapes characteristic of Léo Cilas's work. The composition here combines several colors recurring in his artistic journey, making this piece an echo of more than ten years of research into geometric abstraction, line, and color.
Slightly displaced from the background, the blade seems to float inside its frame. Its shadow accentuates its presence and reveals its sculptural character, while the exposed teeth constantly recall the object's original function.
With the series Saw, Sex & Sun, Léo Cilas thus confronts two stories: that of a tool shaped by use and that of a work built for the gaze. A transition from work in the shadows to spotlight, where the repurposing becomes a way to extend the life of the object.
Presentation
Léo Cilas is a contemporary French artist based in Montpellier. For more than a decade, he has been developing a pictorial research around geometry, color and the perception of space.
Through compositions of unstable equilibrium, he explores questions of perception, the shifting of planes, and the construction of space. Lines intersect, volumes seem to slide or become misaligned, creating fluid visual spaces where the eye deliberately loses its bearings. His work plays on the tensions between surface and depth, balance and instability, order and fragmentation.
Influenced by architecture, urban planning, and certain organic forms, Léo Cilas composes hybrid geometric structures where constructive rigor and a sense of movement coexist. His works question our perception of volume and space through plays of superimposition, false reliefs, and chromatic tensions.
Developing both a studio practice and site-specific interventions, he extends his work to different media and contexts: canvas, metal, muralism, installation, and anamorphosis. His approach considers the surface as an active space, capable of transforming the relationship between the artwork, the architecture, and the viewer.
