Artwork description
François Morelli creates transdisciplinary art (drawings, installations, performance, stamps and sculptures) that questions the status of the artwork, the creative process and how the art is received. Addressing notions of passage, circulation and transformation, his art often echoes past actions or events while examining relationships between the artist and society, between individuals, or between individuals and the work of art.
