MIOSHE - Antoine MARTINET, born 1984 Hétérotopies, 2022 Tapestry in wool thread, 6 colors in Aubusson digital stitch by Atelier Néolice Robert Four. Numbered 1/3, dated, titled and signed on reverse. 250 x 170 cm --- MIOSHE - Antoine MARTINET, born 1984 Antoine Martinet, aka Mioshe, stands at the crossroads of the "academic" world, the tradition of art history and painting, and a more "urban" culture through his work as a muralist. His works make reference to ancient art while dealing with major contem porary subjects. Through various media, Mioshe tackles subjects that trouble us: man and his relationship with nature, the Anthropocene and ecology, relationships of domination in society and zones to be defended. Following her cartographic work on the floor of the Musée de Bretagne, the artist wishes to continue this work on the resistance movements of yesterday and today that have forged Brittany's uniqueness. Sensitive to the forms of freedom in society within the Breton free party community, Mioshe, in love with the territory, likes to tell its story through its landscapes, its encounters and its various forms of civil disobedience. Zones to defend form the graphic terrain of the works the artist has created for the Ar Seiz Avel auction exhibition. The first work on offer, Mega-bassines, is a jar painted in support of the protests in Sainte-Soline linked to the privatization of the water supply in October 2022. The second, Des pierre contre des fusils, is borrowed from Nicole Le Garrec's documentary film and pays tribute to the anti-nuclear struggle at Plogoff between 1974 and 1981. Finally, Mioshe presents the tapestry Hétérotopies, woven in Aubusson digital stitch by the Néolice Robert Four workshop. This large-scale ecological frieze recounts the clash of civilizations like a naïve tale. The work takes its name from Michel Foucault's essay defining heterotopia as a multitude of imaginary spaces anchored in reality, a physical localization of utopia.
