Artwork location: France
This captivating work illustrates delicacy and complexity through a dynamic set of black crosses that float on a pristine white background. The composition evokes fluid movement, forming an organic and abstract silhouette that defies gravity. Each cross, meticulously arranged, contributes to a collective vision of lightness and elevation, creating the impression of a soaring or celestial dance. The clever use of negative space amplifies the contrast and guides the eye to the subtle play between density and emptiness. This creation exemplifies an impeccable mastery of line and rhythm, immediately captivating the viewer's eye with its apparent simplicity and conceptual depth. It is an artistic celebration of the tension between order and chaos, leaving a lasting and thoughtful imprint.

Presentation
Originally from a Parisian family of naturalists and art lovers, Edith Basseville was born in Burgundy in 1977. Attracted to the natural sciences at a very young age, she crisscrossed the countryside, observed the unusual in her environment and collected fragments of the living. She also drew assiduously.
She studied at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Appliqués - Duperré - then at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués - Olivier de Serres - in Paris. She discovered textiles and metal, both worked flat or in volume, and developed a strong taste for experimenting with materials.
In 2001, having just graduated, she moved to Auxois and joined a workshop for the conservation-restoration of ethnographic objects, sculpted works in painted and gilded wood, and plinths. Then in 2008, she set up her own business and specialized in plinths for collections and exhibition assembly. She has provided services for many museums in France (Galliera Museum, Petit Palais, Maison de Victor Hugo, Caen Museum of Art and History, Cernuschi Museum, etc.) and abroad, as part of museum developments and for private collectors (Chanel Patrimoine, Arteas Ltd) in order to showcase collections and secure works.
During this first decade, in parallel with this activity, she began her personal research through drawing and sculpture. In particular, she created assemblages from animal bones. In 2009, she also discovered the work of Fabienne Verdier while passing by chance in front of the Jeanne Bucher Jaeger gallery in Paris and will remain marked by her work.
In 2012, on the occasion of her first solo exhibition, in homage to Karl Blossfeldt at the Musée Buffon in Montbard, the Parisian gallery owner Philippe Samuel noticed Edith's recent metal sculptures and invited her to exhibit, for three consecutive years, at the international modern and contemporary art fair Art Elysées in Paris. Her work then rubbed shoulders with that of renowned artists such as Hans Hartung, Matthieu, Christo, Picasso, Fernand Léger, Miro… as well as contemporary artists Lidia Syroka and Jacques Clauzel. At this time, in parallel with her volumes drawn in space, she began to explore graphic techniques such as calligraphy, gesture and trace, as well as engraving.
Then, from 2015 to 2020, she collaborated with the Galerie Gaia in Nantes.
In 2019 and 2020, she participated in the production of bronze works by Laurence Montano, commissioned by Peter Marino, architect-decorator for the Hôtel Le cheval blanc, at La Samaritaine, in Paris.
His works are regularly exhibited in France during solo and group exhibitions. His work was also presented in 2018 at the Sievi Gallery in Berlin, Germany, for a trio exhibition. His works have been included in the collection of the Artothèque of the City of Ploumagoar as well as those of private collectors in France, Europe, Canada and the United States.
