Fabrice Langlade, born in 1964 in Reims, France, presents an exhibition of new sculptures at the JGM. gallery from May 5 until June 4, 2006.

Communic’Art has created for the exhibition a catalogue that includes all the works exhibited along with a text by Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand and Lóránd Hegyi, the director of the Musée de Saint-Etienne Métropole.

Fabrice Langlade has invented a space of playfulness and trompe-l’œil: he has recreated a garden in which people, animals and flowers wonder around.

The two-sided identical and inverted sculptures are taken from popular and cheap figurines and all together constitute a white world, without soul, like Olympia in Hoffmann tales.

“These gardens are specific places of fantasy, creations of a given reality and transported in a world of unlimited representations. Those strange gardens can be interpreted as places for memories, as the location of an event, such
as spaces of unexpected genesis of creatures that were never seen and are nonetheless familiar,” writes Lóránd Hegyi.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe.
