Raphaël Monchablon has a strong relationship with the Arts. He turns every minute of his life into a piece of art, whether it is a performance, painting, installation or sculpture. This tireless researcher likes also to fuel his inspiration by studying Masters like Sol Lewitt, Piero Manzoni, Bruce Nauman to name a few.

Like every sculptor he is very good at drawing volumes on a sheet of paper or with acrylic on canvas. For example in his Series “Tetris” he experiments all sorts of geometric with different types of perspectives: isometric, oblique, aerial and so on. He combines kinetic effects with dots in his Series “dots” or he is able to dismantle abstract cubes or lines to re-interpret them his way.

And the result is nothing but boring, this is full of humor and can be read both easily and extremely seriously. All good though. I encourage any gallerist, curator or collector who would read this article to consider Monchablon’s work. BCh.
