Description
The grégolos, figures sculpted in paper mache by Grégogna, form a small silent and intriguing people, halfway between the familiar and the strangely codified. Stemming from the artist's imagination, they are said to come from Grégoland, or Grésburg, a fictitious territory, but which resonate as a distorted version of our contemporary reality.
Each character is handcrafted, unique in its posture, expression, and roughly painted clothes. Despite their apparent simplicity, the Grégolos carry within them a gentle but sharp criticism of society: uniformity of roles, static communication, functionalism without content.
Grégogna does not seek the spectacular, but observation, delivering here a social criticism through the absurd. The gregolos, by their immobility and their mutism, force us to look differently at the behaviors that surround us.
Presentation
Born in 1926 in Hanoi and died in 2011, René-François Grégogna is a French artist.
René-François Grégogna presented his first paintings right after the Second World War in Ales. During late 50s, he moved to Sète. Ten years later, his work "Déjeuner sur l'herbe" was under the limelight, and attracted both positive and negative reviews. His exhibition "Plaider coupable" was a turning point in his career, as he gave up painting and turned towards collages and embossed designs made with worn and recovered elements in landfills.
Late 70's and until mid 80's, René-François Grégogna began a new artistic phase by creating wild and gigantic works, especially the dyke located between Sète and Frontignan which was unfortunately destroyed in 1986.
In 1985, René-François Grégogna created the V.R.A.C movement, which echoed the F.R.A.C. It was also during the 80's that he became known on a world wide basis, with an exhibition in Key West, Florida. He also participated in the Salon de la Figuration Critique at the Grand Palais and organized a collective exhibition in Pezenas, around the figure of Picasso, which was recreated in Paris.
René-François Grégogna is a relentless multidisciplinary artist, who has made use of all the techniques and mediums. His work is still legendary.
