Comet Fields In A Matchbox

Matias Agafonovas presents "Comet Fields in a Matchbox" at Mennour, Paris, featuring new paintings and ceramic sculptures. The exhibition draws inspiration from astrophysics and the artist's personal reflections on the cosmos. Agafonovas explores themes of scale, containment, and the relationship between the infinite and the intimate, using the trajectory of a comet as a central metaphor.

The artist's practice involves subverting conventional uses of materials and forms, drawing parallels between artistic creation and educational systems. His work combines elements of outsider art, automatic writing, and urban art, reflecting his dual French and Brazilian cultural background. The exhibition features a range of works, including paintings and ceramics, where visual motifs are repeated and recontextualized across different media, challenging perceptions of scale and composition.
