The work of François-Xavier Orsini is serial and open: drawing, sculpture, photography... It is characterized by a refusal of specialization, a constant need to explore new paths.
With "PAF# Porte-à-faux," Orsini creates volumes/models in cardboard in an aesthetic, once again borrowed from design and architecture. The volumes thus created are then covered with sheets of sketched Canson paper, on which Orsini creates shadow and light, with the aim of giving a vibrant, human texture to geometric volumes often perceived as "cold." The result gives rise to a photograph taken and digitally printed on neutral paper. The viewer is confronted with an in-between, photo/drawing, and finds themselves in a state of imbalance compared to the observed object.
François-Xavier Orsini lives and works in Nice - Graduated from Villa Arson in 2005.
