Description
Sculpture in waxed forged mild steel.2 removable figures.Can change position and orientation on their base.This captivating and minimalist sculpture, in forged steel, represents two figures. Distinguished by its sobriety, it expresses an elegance that resides in the simplicity of the elongated forms. The two silhouettes, slender and omnipresent, emerge from a common base, perhaps symbolizing the union or a parallel between two entities. The refined aspect of the work highlights the finesse of the artist's work, whose skill in capturing the human essence through abstract lines and shapes is undeniable. The slightly inclined heads of the figures add a dimension of intimacy, suggesting a silent and profound interaction. The choice of steel as the main material gives solidity and durability to the whole, reinforcing the idea of timeless connection. The black, waxed surface reflects light subtly, creating shadow effects and highlighting the angular contours. This work is a shining example of a symbiosis between geometric rigor and emotional expression, prompting the viewer to reflect on the nature of human relationships and the strength of the shared bond.
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.
