From drawings in A4 format to complex machines with animated creatures, sound and light, Séchas always infuses the firepower of drawing in the greatest number of supports and techniques; lines, speed, emotional vectors that are transmitted to the sculptures, films and, today, painting. For the artist each exhibition is an occasion to the entire spectrum, or almost. Without question this is not because of an irrepressible need to show what he can do, but rather to put in place his little reality factory.

For his second solo show at the Galerie Chantal Crousel, Melik Ohanian presents a series of recent works (2005-2006) in modulated spaces with a succesion of ambiances that contains videoprojections, neon lights, sculptures, photographs and involve the visitor in a close relationship.
Based on time, intervals, continuity and discontinuity, his work defies concepts of territory and identity and offers other geographical and political possibilities.

The principle of entropy involves the exposure of close systems to an inevitable process of dissolution and neutralization over time. (En)Tropics complicate the totalizing implications of this principle. Not so as to protect structures from the wear of time, but in order to attend to that, which survives their breakdown. This working concept evokes not an inevitable condition of inertia and vapidity, but the strange potentiality of the ruin to be turned away from its original purpose or design. Whereas entropy posits the morbid certainty of a static end, (En)Tropics heeds the monstrous life of the future.(En)Tropics supplements and displaces entropic finalism by tracing its etymological affinity with two other words-tropical and trope. All derive from the Greek root tropos (“A turning”), and when thought together as a constellation, they open onto a new poetic and political terrain.
