Description
Carpe Diem is a very original work, visually and by the technique used (mixture of wood, resin and metal).
Inside a container (a finite space), the head of a fish seems to come out slightly from the surface, and comes to interact with the observer. The artist invites us to meditate on the fragility of life, and to fully live the present moment.
Perhaps even more than with other sculptures by Gaël Rouxeville, the observer's point of view will influence the meaning of the work, which delivers an individualized message to everyone. Thus, depending on whether our reading gives more importance to the container, to the content, or to the staging elements, or even to the symbolism, our interpretation will be changed...

Presentation
Born in 1970, Gaël Rouxeville is the artist of the Living Curve. His work, disseminated in France and internationally, has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions, publications, and has been included in private and public collections (notably that of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia).
Drawing on expertise in industrial design and cabinetmaking, and committed to an eco-responsible approach, his creative process engages memory, the unconscious, and the imagination. For 30 years, he has explored the possibilities of the "Living Curve," a source of inspiration, an expressive language, and the guiding thread of his work. The numerous media, materials, and themes he explores are never an end in themselves, but rather a means of approaching and experiencing a universal consciousness.
His work results in a world of organic, “living" forms, figurative or not; forms that are simple in appearance and open to interpretation, engaging the viewer's memories and imagination. Gaël Rouxeville's art is less intellectual than sensual. It's an invitation to let go, to welcome, to stop searching... Like these curves that stretch and relax, it suddenly seems that time is elongating. The boundaries that appeared so clear become blurred, shifting... The mind then floats, as if levitating; a dance of space and time!
