Description
Univers'Elle responds to the statement "I am what I am"...

It's none of my business what people say about me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and I accept everything. And it makes life much easier. (Anthony Hopkins).

Extra-fine chamotte white sandstone terracotta fired at 1000° and patinated with various pigments and shellac.

Presentation

Is material reality a perpetual movement of construction and destruction?

Reflecting the creative energy of the feminine in this moving world, the nudes produced by modeling by the artist Sylvie Bourély highlight posture. In his work, it is a question of revealing the geometry of the universe at the origin of the perpetual movement of material existence.

More than a simple physical posture, this is about the internal positioning that we each take when facing the world. The artist's sculptures bring us back to the question of our true place in the universe.

Feminine energy is part of the creative process. She destroys and rebuilds a new life within her, eternally and perpetually. The postural geometry of Sylvie Bourély's sculptures expresses the tension that oscillates between dynamism and restraint. It reflects the coming and going between exteriority and interiority, construction and deconstruction of matter.

Could the world we know stand up without its feminine aspect?
