Melancoolers (Chairs)

Patrick Belmont

The chairs

is a serie of drawings exhibited at Zsenne Artlab in 2022 during the solo exhibition « Melancoolers ». It explores melancholy not as a burden to overcome, but as a creative force—a space where slowness, introspection, and even boredom become gestures against the hyper-stimulation of contemporary life.

What if melancholy is not something to be fixed, but a state to be inhabited?

What if, instead of resisting our fatigue, we let it shape our gaze, our rhythms, and our creativity? ‘Melancoolers’ exhibition was created to embrace the stillness of boredom, the weight of longing, and the beauty of unresolved emotions.
