Adrien Vescovi - Jour de Lenteur
Adrien Vescovi - Jour de Lenteur
La publication Jours de lenteur est une plongée dans l'univers de l'artiste français Adrien Vescovi, dans celui de son atelier à Marseille, où bocaux de couleurs sont alignés au pied des murs ; où des draps chinés sont plongés dans des concoctions de couleurs naturelles et teints dans les tons de rouille, d'ocre, de vert menthe ou de citron délavé ; où, une fois les tissus séchés, les énormes pièces sont cousues et assemblées avant de venir envelopper les façades et habiller les intérieurs. Les compositions textiles d'Adrien Vescovi sont pensées et composées comme des tableaux, à la fois monumentaux et vulnérables, soumis aux éléments naturels et imprégnés des lieux où ils sont exposés.
Jours de lenteur décrit le travail de l'artiste en atelier jusqu'à l'exposition éponyme au Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain en octobre 2022.
Adrien Vescovi (né en 1981 et diplômé de l'École supérieure d'art de l'agglomération d'Annecy) vit et travaille à Marseille depuis 2017 après une longue pratique installée dans les montagnes de Haute-Savoie. L'artiste réinvestit avec des enjeux contemporains la question de la toile libre et d'une peinture pensée à une échelle architecturale et naturelle. L'importance du contexte dans lequel l'artiste vient installer ses œuvres est pour lui un facteur d'étude incontournable. Adrien Vescovi compose des temporalités, assemble des couleurs travaillées selon différents processus alchimiques à partir de l'air (rayons du soleil et de la lune), de la terre (ocres et végétaux) et du feu (cuissons, infusions). Sa manière de coudre est une façon de peindre. Le hasard est son allié.
Son travail a notamment été présenté en France, aux Pays-Bas, en Belgique, au Danemark, en Turquie et au Mexique. En 2021, il a participé au 22e prix de la Fondation d'entreprise Pernod Ricard avec le projet Bonaventure signé par Lilou Vidal.

The publication Jours de lenteur (Days of Slowness) is a dive into the world of French artist Adrien Vescovi, in his studio in Marseille, where jars of colors are lined up at the foot of the walls; where found sheets are dipped in concoctions of natural colors and dyed in shades of rust, ochre, mint green or faded lemon; where, once the fabrics are dry, the huge pieces are sewn and assembled. Adrien Vescovi’s textile compositions are thought and composed like paintings, both monumental and vulnerable, subject to the natural elements and impregnated with the places where they are exposed.
Jours de lenteur describes the artist’s work in the studio up to the eponymous exhibition at Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain. In her text Fictions of Structure, Natasha Marie Llorens, independent curator, writer and professor of art and theory at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, focuses on the artist’s practice, on the importance of the grid or structure that underlies his work and that allows the viewer’s gaze to be drawn outwards from the work of art, towards a world beyond the frame, and vice versa. At the same time, Vescovi’s work is a work on memory, the fabrics having a story to tell as they are the guardians of traces of a past. The text Murano is the transcription of a collaborative workshop organized by the authors Castillo and Joëlle Bachetta with the artist and his temporary assistants. Around the feminist and queer revision in textile art and craft, the workshop posed, among other things, the question of professional and collective relationships within the artist’s studio.
Jours de lenteur is Adrien Vescovi’s first monograph.
