This monograph accompanies a trilogy of solo exhibitions at Frac Grand Large, Le Creux de l'Enfer, and Le Grand Café, marking the first major presentation of Jean-Marie Appriou Deshayes’ work in France. Spanning a decade of practice, it highlights his reappropriation of industrial processes through artisanal techniques and chemical reactions, producing sculptures that are unruly, organic, and hybrid. From anodised aluminium and cast-iron radiators to fountains of expanding foam, ceramics, and his recent Gargouilles bronzes, the book traces Deshayes’ exploration of bodies, materials, and the fluidity of identity.
