REDSEA Gallery is proud to announce ‘Exposed’, a captivating solo exhibition featuring the work of renowned, resin artist François Bel. With an evocative theme centered around nostalgia and memorabilia, the French artist invites us on a mesmerizing journey through time and memory.
After 3 years of representation, REDSEA Gallery is excited to be showcasing his latest collection.
'My creations focus on space and time. Each object is frozen in a movement. I am inspired by the laws of physics and The Big Bang theory. I call my creations little “Big Bangs” - they are like mini-universes containing a wealth of information.'
Bel is known for creating flawless illusions of suspension using crystal clear resin in which he seemingly freezes deconstructed found objects and antiques. He ingeniously and aptly works with the medium and gives exciting new form to memorabilia such as vintage watches, alarm clocks and film cameras.

Bel’s sculptures take inspiration from cultural influences and personal experiences but he also draws from the Street Art and Pop Art movements for their bright colours, humour and arresting subject matter.
The famous Dada artist Marcel Duchamp’s thought provoking ‘ready-mades’ that subvert daily objects in order to criticize today's consumer society particularly appeal to Bel. This piece titled 'AI' is a commentary on our relationship with technology, data and also the future of AI.

Movie Magic
In this sculpture Bel uses original 35mm film strips from the block-buster movie franchise 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Bel's expertise and technical ability in using resin ensures the sculpture remains crystal clear, almost glass like, this allows the viewer to actually see the individual actors and iconic scenes captured on the film strips.
