Description
Sculpture in waxed forged mild steel.6 removable figures.Can change position and orientation on their base.This sculptural work is a magnificent demonstration of minimalist elegance and the power of metal as an artistic medium. The sculpture consists of several slender, finely crafted figures emerging from a solid base. The material, steel, accentuates a striking sobriety while at the same time displaying an impressive raw strength. The linear and vertical aspect of these figures gives the composition an upward dynamic that seems to defy gravity. Each figure, slightly different, plays with light, creating subtle shadows that add depth and movement to the work. The artist uses here the contrast between the rough texture of the metal and the fluidity of the lines to explore themes of growth, transition and elevation. This choice creates a captivating visual tension, encouraging the viewer to contemplate the notions of strength and fragility inherent in the human experience. As a whole, this sculpture is exemplary of modernist expression, combining precise formal design with a conceptual depth that invites reflection. A masterpiece where the muteness of metal resonates with the silent power of art.
Presentation
A sculptor, Maxime Plancque was born in 1958 in Rouen. He now lives in Manche where he has his own forge.
He trained as a copper-smith, it was only at the age of 40 that Maxime Plancque decided to study again and begin ironwork at Ecole de Strasbourg. He then taught this subject at Le Havre and the Parisian region. Previously, his expertise allowed him to rub shoulders with the world of art, while restoring paintings, gilding on wood or furniture.
He gradually devoted himself to sculpture. Maxime Plancque is able to make the material dance and fold iron. He's able to tame his elements and this results in mundane scenes through fire, air and water.
Couples or a group, he is able to tame his characters all along. Despite appearances, the latter are mobile on their base and therefore free to express themselves. This way, they can change places and appearances. There is an opposition between immobility and movement, between the raw material and smooth lines. With simple means and great expertise, he is able to transform the material into emotions and vice versa.
Maxime Plancque has been exhibiting since 2000 in Paris, Belgium, Luxembourg and Holland. He was rewarded twice in 2005 by European award. Since 2013, his slender beings are higher and much bigger.
