The cut-out drawings of Benoit Felix (°1969, works and lives in Lustin) in crayon or ink literally free themselves from their surface and trace themselves into the dispositions of space. The strong material allows to put the drawings under tension, giving back to the drawing its value as an existence in reality.
What you see is (not always) what you see. Language is an important part of Benoit Felix his body of work, and the ability to play with its different layers of presentation, reference and meaning.
Felix' works create a spontaneous smile and make you think about what you think you see: drawings that are not drawings because they are objects, but objects that are not objects because they are drawings.
He refers to as “my traces that I cut out and tighten up in the space, like traps, to see them as an artwork... Or as questions put to the spectator: am I an artwork, they ask (with a blink)...
Having a background in Lacanian psychoanalysis Felix uses the ambiguity of language as a performing art.
