Hervé Louail (Darlou)

France  • 1968

Presentation

Hervé Louail dit Darlou, sculptor-plastician, invites you to discover through his works a poetic, timeless and moving universe where man is at the center of his reflections. The character of Barnabas which he created in 2003 has become the emblematic element of his creation. It has conquered a large audience with its refined plastic and its timeless effect which sends the viewer back to his own interpretation. In addition to its round shapes, its face reduced to a diagram is a mask into which one projects oneself. His face becomes universal through its extreme simplicity. His staged characters, despite their mundane occupations, convey a feeling of fullness and intense meditation. They challenge you and question you about yourself. A quest for interiority where time seems to stand still. Hervé exhibits in France and Belgium. He recently participated in an artist residency in China and exhibited in prestigious salons such as the Salon d'Automne or the Salon National des Beaux Arts in Paris.
