Francoise Petrovich. Fragments of love

Like: Split up. Françoise Petrovich’s new exhibition includes a whole sequence of love discourse. Here it takes over the entire Musée de la Vie Romantique, with around forty unpublished works depicting the feeling of love. With him we are always between childhood and adolescence, day and night… The double is a recurring theme in his work, as is the hybridization of humans and animals. The course is also made up of two stages. The large workshop features a panorama of fifteen ink washes on paper. His sculpture in the garden Ogres is a female anthem. It is no longer the man who eats the little girls, but the other way around. Very MeToo!
