Description
A young, solitary child sits on a piece of driftwood. This patinated terracotta bronze sculpture captures a moment of calm and suspension. The character, with simplified features, seems to contemplate the horizon with a discreet serenity.
The contrast of materials defines the strength of the composition. The dark, smooth patina of the terracotta meets the organic roughness of the driftwood. This dialogue between human work and nature creates a precise visual balance.
The figurative approach here is attached to scenes from daily life. The movement is frozen in a natural, almost familiar posture. The whole rests on a minimalist white support that accentuates the impression of levitation.
Realized in 2026, this piece is part of a research into lightness and stability. The choice of materials ensures the permanence of an ephemeral scene. The horizontal structure guides the eye towards the center, where the character observes the horizon.
Presentation
Jérôme BARREAU has lived in the Arcachon Basin since the year 2000.
He studied at the École Boulle in Paris (higher school of applied arts for furniture trades) between 1985 and 1991.
He began his studies in plastic arts and very quickly moved towards wood sculpture.
He obtained a BT Technical Certificate, then a CAP and finally a DMA diploma in arts trades in wood sculpture.
Following his studies, he joined Parisian model and design workshops. The creation of products for advertising, design, architecture or even the cosmetic industry…
During almost 10 years, these numerous professional experiences allowed him to practice many techniques from manual trades, such as turning, milling, mechanical machining, molding, and of course sculpture with many materials…
In 2000 he leaves the Paris region for the Arcachon Basin.
It is from this moment that he begins to create his sculptures. In wood, in stone, in earth… engraving techniques too… His curiosity leads him to many horizons.
In 2001 he discovers a local association that offers painting and art history courses, he applies to animate sculpture workshops there… these courses still exist today...
He regularly animates modeling workshops on specific themes.
In parallel, he exhibits in art fairs to present and sell his work as an artist.
His profession today is to create pieces and transmit his passion for sculpture.
