“In Putumayo, on the banks of the river, lives Amado, a traditional doctor, son of an Indigenous woman and a mestizo like most of Colombians. Around him the forest has been devastated, he takes care of a piece of dense jungle, most of the plants that live there are medicinal. The wisdom of what we call nature is palpable there, his offering.

In the series 𝗘𝗹 𝗷𝗮𝗿𝗱í𝗻 𝗱𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗼, I am interested in making a reinterpretation, and I want to think that what I draw and paint are portraits. Portraits of conscious beings. Of their branches, of their trunks, of the communion between them, of their their ties to survive and inhabit, branch upon branch, leaf upon leaf.” - Nohemí Pérez

Théo Mercier’s 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗜𝗻-𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗜 is born from the encounter between manufactured or collected objects and natural materials.

In these new works by the artist, ceramics, stones, rope, found in turn, both in their natural state and in the form of manufactured replicas or industrialized products, build a plastic and visual vocabulary. Like in other of his series, the stacking process gives the impression of a precarious balance - both physical and symbolic - and plays with the aesthetics of collapse and ruin.
