Fred Allard's "Sans Transition" is a striking sculpture that embodies the themes of speed, evolution, and the seamless progression of modern life. The work features three red racing cars of varying sizes, stacked vertically, with the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top, all encapsulated in clear resin. This vertical arrangement creates a sense of fluid continuity, symbolizing the unbroken flow of advancement and the layers of development that define our journey. Encased in resin, "Sans Transition" captures the essence of perpetual motion, reflecting the relentless pace of contemporary existence and the harmonious blend of art, technology, and ambition.
Fueled by themes of conspicuous consumption, luxury brands, and constructed identities, Fred Allard casts high fashion shopping bags filled with soda cans and bottles in resin. Influenced by ‘80s and ‘90s American pop culture and cosmopolitan European cities, Allard’s world is one in which brand dominates product and image matters most. Prior to his resin sculpture series “The Bags,” Allard created paintings inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat, with bold colors and graphic text, and collages using deconstructed images of models culled from high fashion magazines, resulting in surreal, abstract, high-impact scenes. Celebrating commerce and exploring the emotional aspects of consumerism, Allard views his art-making and overall persona as a brand-building “trend lab”, constructing his own identity through artistic output in the same way that luxury objects bolster an individual’s image. Fred Allard kept from this creative world an imprint, a culture, an enthusiasm which are the basis surrounding his works as an artist. His inspiration comes from various trends and cultures, from pop art but also street art, music, magazines and department stores and most importantly from the street and everyday life…It is the mix of these interests that exalts his work and inspires his creativity. His unique style is also characterized by the content he fills these luxury bags with; a way he expresses his views is by the use of words, colors and materials. In this spirit, he portrays the era of our society. His work is the picture of the moment, through brands and trendy objects.
