Mickaël Molinié

His pictorial activity is developed in the form of free figuration, where the subject can be recognised without reality mimetic treatment. In fact, Mickaël Molinié notably starts by studying the different forms of expressions in young children. This approach allows him to picture the "representation" under a much more open angle, free from the academic constraints of painting solely to prove a technical capacity to be able to reproduce what is real.


The artist develops the pictorial work with an inherent instinct of childish forms of expressions, such as abolishing true scales regarding the size of the characters and objects, as well as the rules of perspective, etc. Moving in this direction, he tries to do the opposite of reproduction perfectionism, preferring instead "human" awkwardness.

 

Favouring this voluntary form of clumsiness, naivety, imperfection, he attempts to challenge the notion of contemplation which isolates the spectators in a certain realm of comfort. Mixing the actions of what is reasonable and intentional with the actions of what is arbitrary and unconscious, the polysemous compositions build a semantic scope more inspired towards the contradictions of dreams than a logical and probable reading of reality.
Systematically resorting to writing in the form of graffiti, to drawing whilst taking the clumsiness of a child into account, to collage which invites another way of composing "the world" are not meant to give an explanation but rather to produce concrete experiences of intrinsic multiple stories, allowing an escape from any attempt of an emanate and conscious reading.

He uses various materials, employed in building and construction works, determined to stay away from the traditional materials used in paintings.
