For 30 years, Michel Nedjar has been extracting the soul from rags, forgotten objects and other scraps of humanity which he revives in the form of dolls and soakes in a ritual bath in order to accomplish this new birth.
As a painter, his hand-to-hand combat with pigments and tars produces silhouettes of uncommon evocative power. He also contributed to the experimental cinema of 1970s-1980.s
His works are included in the collections of Art Brut in Lausanne and of Centre Georges Pompidou.
His exhibition at the gallery polad-hardouin, from April 24 to May 31, will showcase his work from an essential viewpoint: that of intimacy.
