Rainier Lericolais est également plasticien, dont la démarche originale peut paraître hétéroclite, en tout cas discontinue. Quel rapport entre des sculptures en carton, des photographies d’écrans de télévision qui s’éteignent, des tentatives de moulages d’eau ou d’explosions, des « dépeintures » et autres transferts ? |
