Sylvie Fleury

Eternal Wow on Shelf (cyan/purple)

A sleek, shelf-like structure of polished stainless steel supports a fiberglass form coated in lustrous cyan and purple car paint, merging the aesthetics of consumer culture with high-gloss industrial glamour. Fleury's work seduces the eye with its automotive sheen and mirror-like reflections, evoking the allure of luxury commodities and the fetishization of beauty products. The bold, candy-colored surface transforms an everyday object into a monument of desire, blurring the line between sculpture and advertisement.
