A selection of Martin Laforêt’s new artworks from his Variations collections are exhibited in this show, Variations. The colourful and unique artworks pay homage to the levity and charisma he conjures from concrete, his material of choice. Laforêt’s methodological means of assembling purified structures from ‘poor’ materials such as concrete or lumber aligns him with the principles of arte povera. Laforêt considers his creative gesture as more important than the final objective artwork, elevating humble materials beyond sight of their origins.
