Description
This captivating sculpture depicts a turtle in motion, harmoniously blending golden hues with turquoise and bronze patina. Constructed from striking and subtle materials such as shells, ceramic, wax, and a bronze patina, its lifelike appearance is accentuated by the detailed texture of its scales, a testament to exceptional craftsmanship. The shell, marked with cracked lines, evokes the richness of time and tells a story of resilience. The discreet black base supports the work, giving an impression of lightness, as if the turtle were swimming in space. This contrast between the animal's dynamism and the sculpture's stillness creates a fascinating visual tension. The piece is a celebration of nature and craftsmanship, offering a modern vision of marine life. This work stands as a vibrant tribute to the beauty and complexity of ocean life.
Presentation
Virginie DEVIN's work intrinsically links natural materials such as bronze, cracked clay, stone, and steel, recreating life through contrasting harmonies.
The characteristic scars that streak the silhouettes of the marine works refer to the individual history of each person: to the stories engraved in the flesh, shaping the profiles with smooth lines and sheared details.
An artist and explorer of the elements, her passion and inspiration come from the ocean, both a source and a universal focal point. Recognized for the uniqueness of her work, the press has covered many of her events. She is also the founding president of the Terre de Vrai association, which educates children about the environment.
