Heroe is the title of a solo exhibition by French artist CAMILLE BLATRIX currently on view at Wattis Institute in San Francisco. The presentation is featuring a series of minimal sculptures that appear familiar and timeless thanks to a highly precise manufacture. As with much of his previous works, the meaning of BLATRIX‘s objects is dissolved into a self-contained abstraction and is ascribed to the viewer’s narrative impulse. Emancipated from informative logic but not from a surrealist humour, BLATRIX converts the rational aspects of objects into enigmatic functionalities freely mixing universal symbols and personal representations.
