collant, poisseux, visqueux

From March 19 to April 30, 2026, Galerie Nicolas Salloum is opening its first exhibition : “collant, poisseux, visqueux". The title refers less to a quality of material than to the contemporary condition of forms ; what sticks, overflows, persists, and resists any clear separation. Rémi Galtier's sculptures suspend use and deploy organic, almost erotic volumes in the sense of Bataille, while the landscapes of Clara Lou Villechaise transform nature into a saturated simulacrum, crossed by viscous and toxic flows, joining Morton's notions about the hyperobject and Baudrillard about the simulacrum. Brought together in a refined scenography, these works by emerging artists explore the friction between matter and image, between object and volume. “Collant, poisseux, visqueux” thus offers a sensitive and critical space where the eye is not content to observe: it comes into contact, it adheres, it is crossed by the energy and excess of the works.
