Artistic technique : Can'Art and Pewter wire

Can'Art, a slow process of artistic creation that relies on the use of metal cans.
At first, the artist will cut out and then unwrap these cans to turn them into flat sheets that will support his creation. In a second step, while taking care to preserve the distinctive color of the mark, it will scratch, stretch, sand this sheet of metal to reveal the raw material, the original color of the material. These sheets will then be fixed by adhesive bonding one to the other to form a network of waves which will propagate over the whole of the work.

Presentation

Gaël Duvert is a self-taught artist who invented Can'Art, a slow process of artistic creation that relies on the use of metal cans. Gaël Duvert's Can'Art can be compared to the merger of two artistic movements presenting many convergences, Pop Art and Recup'Art, a concept initiated by Ambroise Monod in 1969: “it is a question of recovering any object that has become useless, all waste, and to transform it, by the magic of the gesture, into a creation which mainly involves cutting and welding. “First, the artist will cut and unroll these cans to transform them into flat sheets that will serve as a support for his creation. Secondly, while taking care to preserve the distinctive color of the mark, he will scratch, streak and sand this sheet of metal to reveal the raw material, the original color of the material. These sheets will then be fixed by gluing one beside the other to form a network of waves which will propagate over the entire table. The can, which has a life expectancy of a few seconds after opening before being "swung", is a marvelous allegorical representation of our "new star" society which incenses as quickly as it destroys. Always go faster! Even if it means considering the individual as a simple object, a beast to be consumed, an interchangeable, brainless and dehumanized number: Gaël Duvert's creative energy comes from this same desire to fight against the inexorable evolution of time, against prejudices, exclusion and intolerance. What interests the artist in the can is not only what it represents. It is also and above all what it is by its original properties and its memory. Beyond the object representing the brand, don't the cans bear the scraps of humanity, the traces of those mouths and those hands that touched them? By linking them together by a network of waves within a new space, he will link the men and women who have consumed them in an inseparable common work: the work of Gaël Duvert is a true message of hope, of love and brotherhood. It is exhibited by the Toulouseart gallery
