Samuel

Samuel is does the May 16, 1973. He works and lives in Dunkirk.

After several exhibitions in France and abroad between 1995 and 2007 , it performs a few artists' residences in order to carry out experiments plastics in resonance with the human and its territory, particularly in E. P.S. M (public establishment of mental health).

In 2011, it is dedicated entirely to its new search pictorially, inspired of the pixel, it is appropriate, transforms, stretched to confer on him three dimensions.

APPREHEND the ?implementation of Samuel, between simplicity, evidence and complexity, it is first we get rid of our visual habits. What do we see? The subject is complex, in the fusion between a photograph which, by the treatment that it has suffered, also mixed mosaic and paint, and a mosaic of thousands of lit twigs of wood painted, of variable heights, which gives him a sculptural aspect. To the pixels of the photograph, meet those of the mosaic of wood; the two dimensions in become three.

The bas-relief thus created gives us the impression that a part of the photograph out of the frame, just to our meeting. It is here that lies the entire force of the implementation: it we happe. Was put in place a set of back-and-forth of the next to try to enter in its detail? We are approaching, mus by the envy of touch? We are going backwards to contemplate the together and enjoy in its entirety.
