Exhibition summary

Sylvie Fleury explores the intersections of materialism, luxury consumerism, and the aesthetics of desire in this exhibition. The showcase features a range of new sculptures, including mannequin-inspired figures draped in fashion house textiles, alongside neon works and large-scale, stripe-patterned paintings.

Curatorial context

Sylvie Fleury’s work often interrogates the mechanics of materialistic desire and the construction of value, providing a critical lens through which to re-examine contemporary consumer culture. In this exhibition, she presents a series of new sculptures that build upon her long-standing interest in the lineage of the readymade, notably displaying fibreglass mannequin legs draped in luxury fashion garments. By recontextualising these consumer objects, Fleury prompts visitors to reflect on the symbols of beauty and power attached to luxury goods. Alongside these sculptures, the exhibition showcases a two-decade exploration of neon as a medium, engaging with concepts of art-historical meaning versus commercial branding through recognizable perfume logos. These are complemented by large-scale, V-shaped paintings that reference the geometric minimalism of Frank Stella. By rendering these iconic forms in shimmering pastel colours, Fleury bridges the gap between high art and commodity culture, inviting a cynical yet appreciative dialogue about our societal fixations.
