wants to show that these parts
unrecognizable remain
omnipresent in our unconscious

MAG Michel is working in India since 1999
MAG Michel can be associated to the Junk Art Movement .
His artworks called Fragmentation and Distorsion can be indentified in a different way .
Mag wants to magnify the subject and give a soul to the debris of society of consommation which are not for him the alienation of the century.
By using vehicles parts, discarded material, squashed or folded steel, MAG produces a serial work based on the observation of our violent environmental decadence.
These fragmentations represent MAG’s new powerful sculptures.
He magnifies everyday elements but icon ones to raise issues about the recycling.
He describes his work as ‘a poetic-ethnic urban junk celebration!’
By elevating ordinary objects to the status of art, he challenges ideas about what constitutes art.
Conceptual art expression with pictural or sculptural mix media .
-Exploration of the world of consumption and its environmental aspect such as recycling.
-Action through fragmented icons (vehicle..), sacred idea (indian cows, crucifix..), junk items (dolls, shape), distorsion (material and social), print (perennial)
-Ban the cliché or the figurative image but show archetypes and try to raise issue concerning our violent environmental decadence.
-Work on a project about the tridimensionnal concept of the Print. (Empreinte)
