Cette œuvre est une commande réalisé pour une exposition qui s'inscrivait dans un évènement sur la thématique de la société de consommation. Market-Man et Market-Woman sont des avatars mi humain mi robot développant toutes les addictions et les tares qui en font de parfaits consommateurs dépendants du marché avec leurs caddies greffés sur leurs ventres mous. Conditionnés, obéissants et idiot un merveilleux couple pour faire tourner une société de consommation jusqu'à l'absurdité .
Ce travail intègre une recherche sur l'interaction cadre / image avec un encadrement spécifique fait de canettes de boissons compressées imbriquées dans une rail métallique. Réalisée avec une technique mixte alliant le collage de puces numériques de morceaux de cartes de crédits et autre micro-processeurs c'est la métaphore d'une facette de notre société qu'on aimerait tant changer.

Laurent Messager is a contemporary French artist. He grew up in a world where the importance of images from advertising, television and cinema were growing exponentially. To this popular culture was added classical culture and the discovery of the great masters of painting and sculpture, creating a pool of influences. 

Messager was intrigued very early on by the graph and street art emerging in the 80s, and also influenced by the free figuration of Combas and Di Rossa, so he integrated in his painting a low graphic mode of letters and words that permeates and reinforces the meaning and evocative force of images.

Recently he developed a sculpture process combining direct stone carving and cement-based modeling on a metal supporting structure allowing to shape slender silhouettes in torsion in movement and sometimes integrating a coloring in the mass or a polychromy based on metallic pigments. 

Laurent Messager was born in 1966, in France, where he graduated from the Beaux Arts de Montpellier.
