“Champignomes” by Paolo Gasparotto, André Jasinski and Patrick Liégeois

A lover of mushrooms who had an incisive but tender perspective on his fellow citizens, Paolo Gasparotto (Liège, 1956), a painter and sculptor, had fun assembling bronze castings of mushrooms picked from the woods – in the manner of a Giuseppe Arcinboldo – giving life to strange allegorical depictions of human characteristics (pride, sloth, wisdom, etc.).

The exhibition of his “Champignomes” is accompanied by photographs by André Jasinski and texts by the philosopher Patrick Liégeois.
