Françoise Pétrovitch - On a Bone

Exhibition Catalogue Françoise Pétrovitch. On a Bone, presented at MO.CO. Montpellier Contemporain (21 june - 2 november 2025).

Françoise Pétrovitch’s figures, marked by a sense of restraint, even erasure, nonetheless reveal an inner turmoil, a psychic density on the verge of overflowing. The dreamlike nature of the colours and shapes heightens the sense of emotional trouble and contained racket.

On a Bone disturbs the notion of linear time. The artist juxtaposes works from different periods, sometimes created thirty years apart, they are placed within the same space and under the same light. Their simultaneous presence creates telescoping effects but also resonances, allowing the viewer to grasp a sense of continuity.
