The Frac des Pays de la Loire invites Eva Taulois from February 22 to May 27, 2018 as part of the Instantanés.

Ambivalence could be the key word in Eva Taulois’s work, a way of disturbing language because it seems so difficult to decide whether we are revolving around sculptures or looking at paintings in motion.

The ten works presented at the Frac des Pays de la Loire are as many optical volumes and images captured between two trips. Indeed, the artist offers a series of scenarios that allow us to see the works in different configurations. Playing on a principle of permutation dear to visual poetry and to the “cut-up” as a creative principle, the artist modifies our perception and thwarts the usual attempts at nomination. The colorful rhythm, the scansion of cuts, scraping, modeling, covering, size, smoothing, pose, summon the actions of sculpture, the gestures of painting, to combine a hybrid vocabulary. The a priori untitled figures have gradually taken the name of their use, so much their displacement and the analog game are at work here. The project contained here is that of a perpetual movement of things, the nature of which is essential, not an evocation of a world outside of matter, but an internal dynamic of materials and their uses.
