Xavier Veilhan solo show Mobiles organized by Galerie Perrotin, Hong Kong from 21 May to 6 July 2013 gathers a group of recent or never seen mobiles of different various shapes and dimensions.
Veilhan is a multidisciplinary artist. He is possessed of a highly personal artistic universe inhabited by a heterodox range of characters, objects and animals. Through complex devices, the playful component emerges as a fundamental element in evoking a reality peopled with symbols, metaphors and other semantic ambiguities. Veilhan turns his gaze on the past to deconstruct classical genres and iconographies: a reinvention of the equestrian portrait, the setting up of a distinctive bestiary based on traditional canons or the transformation of the imaginary of the vanitas into objects akin to a pop aesthetic … in an approach that seeks communion with the viewer in an overall experience.
