un paysage américain (générique)
The common thread of the exhibition is a theme that is currently on the artist’s mind: the landscape, its representation and its relationship with identity and nation.
Alain Bublex directed an animated film that he presented at the George-Philippe et Nathalie Vallois gallery in November 2018. By using a great variety of mediums, his projects hover between fact and fiction, to reinvent the scenery, the city or architecture in general.
The film is a rework of Rambo, from which the action and the characters have been removed from the scenery. All that appears is the background landscape, which leads us to the theory that the scenery’s role is far more important than it seems. According to Bublex, the movie aims at the American nation through the elements of the decor more than through the plot, which is the end of the Vietnam war.
The artist proposes to build a diorama from the film’s opening scene, on the scale of the centre’s nave: it presents the panorama of a mountain landscape with its bordering lake and a wood shack.
The ensemble is made out of natural elements and depicts the vectorial drawing the artist has been practicing for many years. The audience is invited to penetrate the decor, where the animated film is projected. It is the first time that the nave is transformed into a projection room.

Since the 1990’s, Alain Bublex has been developing gigantic fictions, deeply anchored in reality.
Urbanist, utopist, researcher, and traveller, the artist produces artworks that are meant to be regarded as projects more than objects. They take tangible form through an iconography and a documentation that is as realistic as abundant.
By using a great variety of mediums, his projects hover between fact and fiction, to reinvent the scenery, the city or architecture in general.
Alain Bublex’s productions are also the result of a reflection on time, and history. They recreate the aesthetic canons and myths of the great adventure that is Modernity.
based on a city’s history, architecture, or aerodynamism, his evolving constructions deal with time constraints. They recreate the aesthetic canons and myths of the great adventure that is Modernity.
