Working on the basis of "Packagings" and objects, strong and popular symbols of the consumer society, the artist Fred Allard explores different universes which are as many sources of inspiration for him.... By freezing these ephemeral objects in time, he gives them an eternal existence. These are real portraits that take shape.

By choosing the "bag" as the iconic object of his collections, he plays on a symbol that he hijacks by giving it a transparency that questions while bringing him a creative force largely impregnated with Pop Culture. He thus creates a cheeky mix of genres, transgressing codes and bringing together universes that are often opposed.

His sculptures, based on objects compressed and frozen in resin, are Fred Allard's signature.
