Perrotin Hong Kong is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Jean- Michel Othoniel, marking his second gallery presentation in Hong Kong.
Oscillating between fragility and strength, the infinite and the tangible, rationality and sensuality, Othoniel’s artworks embrace and transcend opposites in order to expand our conception of reality, reconciling contradictions and opening up realms of wonders. Since 1993, the French artist has been working in collaboration with some of the finest glassblowers in the world on the formal and chemical properties of glass, exploring its manifold possible metamorphoses and substantial variability. A product derived from the transfiguration of matter and melted sand, glass, in essence, is rooted within nature and reflects the exuberance of its potentials and beauty. Similarly, and like an alche- mist, Othoniel sublimates natural elements, recomposing and transforming them according to his emotions and to the cultural context he is working in
