After the Peggy Marmier exhibition, FLC - Fontainebleau Loisirs Culture continues its artistic programme by welcoming François Blanquet, a true architect of miniature worlds.
Armed with simple tools (a cutter, scissors and glue), François Blanquet transforms raw cardboard into entire villages of striking poetry. In his hands, this humble material becomes walls, doors and windows, tiles, bricks, staircases... to build constructions of remarkable ingenuity.
His installations create small kraft-coloured environments made up of cabins that are all different and inventive architecture, right down to the smallest detail. Villas are lit up, rising up on mossy branches to form suspended villages where we dream of living, in harmony with nature.
Dried flowers add a splash of colour to the small gardens. Pennants, deckchairs and hanging linen, made from brightly-coloured paper, add a cheerful touch to this poetic universe that invites you to relax. It's a journey of the imagination, as you follow the cardboard ladders.
Although there are no characters in these villages, the glasses on the garden tables, the light filtering through the tracing paper windows and the cotton wool smoke rising from the chimneys suggest a inhabited world. The spectator is free to project himself and to rediscover his childlike soul.
At the crossroads of contemporary art and children's imagination, this exhibition will delight adults and children alike. A great family outing during your stay in Fontainebleau.
