Gabriel Leger – Subterfuges / Important Decisions
by fosco lucarelli
For several years, Gabriel Leger’s work has developed around the practice of drawing, its difficulties and its possibilities, through the use of various media (charcoal, carbon paper, graphite, on paper, fabric, prints, maps).
“Elles (les images ndr) datent du temps où il était possible de croire au progrès et à ses bienfaits — possible de se fier aux utopies.
(The images) date back to a time when it was possible to believe in progress and its benefits – it was possible to rely on utopias.”
Philippe Dagen (Le Monde, April 29-30, 2012 )
(Important decisions are made elsewhere, Galerie Sator, Paris)
