For their new solo exhibition “Anthropologic” at the Avenue des Arts gallery in Los Angeles, the French duo, Murmure (composed of Paul Ressencourt and Simon Roché), questions the environmental and societal issues posed by human consumerist logic to the detriment of our planet. Through three series of works, different themes are approached and treated in a way specific to each one, in terms of techniques, colors or symbolism.
This exhibition marks a real turning point in the artistic approach of the duo, in regard to technique and media. Originally known for their work in black and white with black chalk on paper, for the first time, they will present their work entirely in acrylic and in color on canvas and on recycled plastic sheets, as well as their first bronze sculpture.
In the end, it is twenty-eight works that will be presented to the public, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in the artistic universe of the duo and share with them the view they have on our world while also leaving everyone a total freedom to interpret their message according to each one own sensitivities.

Red Hot Series
The “Red Hot” series explores the issue of climate change, which we are witnessing today, and which manifests itself in impressive atmospheric events. Among these, fires and other sandstorms offer a dramatically unique spectacle. Tinting the sky with surreal colors, they bathe the landscapes in a mystical atmosphere as aesthetic as it is dangerous in reality.
Produced on a bright and vibrant red paper, the black chalk technique brings softness and depth to the drawing, plunging the viewer into the vagueness of the unreality of these catastrophes and transcribing this apocalyptic sensation.
While Murmure is known for the precision and hyper-realism of their designs, the “Red Hot” series is distinguished by a deliberately more loose and evanescent rendering. This is enabled by the technique used here, which consists of grinding the black chalk and applying it with a brush. While the works in this series remain technically drawings, the artist’s gesture is that of a painter, thus allowing the duo to appropriate a new graphic signature. - Avenue des Arts
