Fab RIDETI
The artist combines art and derision to make us think about our over-consumption frenzy. It's a fact that man, in his pursuit of "progress", has stopped listening to the guardians of our origins, the people of the great trees. The forest embodies our fears but also enchants us: it is the heritage of a pagan world that has invested our subconscious with myths that can be disquieting or, on the contrary, protective. Fab Rideti repopulates the forest with mysterious figures (elves, dryads, centaurs...) made from recycled cardboard. These characters claim their forest for us, inviting us all to rediscover a new lease of life through the inspiring force of this living, wooded natural environment.
The exhibition entitled Spirit of the Forest at the Frédérick Mouraux Gallery is part of the PhotoBrussels Festival programme. Access by 690 Chaussée de Waterloo I Walerloosesteenweg I B-1180 Brussels.
