Odile Decq - Monolithe

This Monolithe edition was imagined by Odile Decq, following her last important architectural realization: the Fonds regional d’art contemporain (Frac) Bretagne in Rennes, 2012.

This work of art, Monolithe, is composed of an exceptional collection of twelve large, original, screen-printed drawings, revealing the founding elements of the architectural project, whose rhythm evokes both the strength and silence of a unexpectedly complex place.

“I intervene as an artist when I exhibit works on space, or when I create objects that evoke my architectural concerns, and they take on another meaning; I free myself of the status of an architect in order to interpret my creations as an artist.”

Monolithe is Odile Decq’s third artist’s edition with the publisher Bernard Chauveau, after "Phantom" in 2011 and "Macro" in 2010.

A limited series of 30 copies signed and dated by the artist, composed of 8 plates measuring 100 x 60 cm, 2 plates: 100 x 40 cm and 2 plates: 60 x 40cm. The screen-printing was done by OEil de Lynx Studio (Paris/Bagnolet) on Plike 350g paper. The set is brought together in a box of black linen embossed on top.
