Alexandre Leger: Alas, Nothing Lasts for Ever
Plunge into the cataclysmic universe of Alexandre Leger! His fantastic tales of a world headed for ruin, of a human race in the throes of change are revealed in some one hundred drawings combining text and images.
The work of Alexandre Leger uses word play. Texts made of poetic fragments, declarations or revisited song lyrics, illuminate the scenes or contradict them, favouring a play on words. By appropriating answers to crosswords, handwritten lines by fountain pen, letters or old school exercise books, the artist readily associates random personal stories with the collected texts.
Alexandre Leger uses simple formats to display natural phenomena or the most tormented human sentiments. The choice of medium, old or used paper, dotted with small or large squares, seems part of a ritual.
