Elodie Huet

The work of French artist Elodie Huet is marked by simplicity and the economy of material and shape. She uses objects from daily life and places them into unexpected situations, giving each a voice through sensitive experiences. However, this quest to essentiality arises from an ironic creation, an initial illusion. This intentional decoy urges the artist to repeat precisely and to create “for nothing and forever.” By unearthing the cultural background of an object, Huet attempts to decipher the various notions of meaning that we hold for objects and materials.

Huet has shown her work in solo exhibitions at Archiraar Gallery, Brussels, Cheval Noir, Brussels, Maison des Arts Actuels des Chartreux, Brussels, Atelier 10B, La Plaine Saint-Denis, France, FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais & Palais de l’Univers et des Sciences, Dunkerque, France, Tetem, Enschede, Netherlands, and Casino Luxembourg. Her group exhibitions include Été 78, Brussels, Maac, Brussels, CIAC, Bourbourg, France, Galerie Jeune creation, Paris, Galerie 22.48 m2, Paris Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Paris and Galerie de Joaillerie Mazlo, Paris, among others.
