MICK PETER / GALERIE FATALISTE EN VITRINE DU KUB D'OR in collaboration with Les Bains-Douches.

Mick Peter transforms the imagery of fiction, illustration and graphic design into playful installations, liberating images from the flat surface of the page to create exuberant, humorous sculptures. Sketches and doodles are transformed to scale and remade in substantial materials such as concrete, acrylic resin and polyurethane.
