Marion Verboom (b.1983, France) places artistic gesture and technical experimentation at the heart of her practice and her works embody some of the most recent developments in contemporary sculpture, while remaining firmly rooted in art history.
Verboom’s sculpture is often associated with the notion of hybridization, insofar as she brings together seemingly distant or even opposing elements to create new forms: parts of musical instruments, mechanical objects or anthropomorphic representations combine in a poetic narrative that arouses the viewer’s curiosity. There are numerous references to roots, both personal and collective, as well as to the history of art with references to Bourdelle and Maillol in her new works.
With Da Coda, her first exhibition at Galerie Lelong & Co. Paris, she is presenting four Achronies, superimposed elements of different shapes, colors and materials that rise up in columns and evoke “cores”, cylindrical samples of soil that help to better understand the geology and archaeology of a place.
