Description
An angel holds one of its wings in its arms as if it were equipping itself for flight or perhaps it has just landed and is shedding its wings… It is upright, completely concentrated in its movement, in its calm gestures. This concentration is materialized by the knot of the two arms which focuses attention. From this motif unfold the other lines, those of the dress and those of the wings. The lightness of the subject is underlined by the dissociation of the volumes which are arranged in a balance that is both just and precarious. The elements of this assembly are differentiated by their surface condition and their patina.
Presentation
After studying at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he became an architect, then turned to monumental sculpture, composed with landscape and architecture. He thus responded to around thirty commissions in varied materials and expressions.
At the same time, he developed bronzes, often animal-based. His language sought a balance between precise anatomy, symbolic dimension, and restrained lyricism. The composition was based on precise drawing and proportions, which allowed for freedom and fantasy of gesture. In order to emphasize the eloquence of a movement, he created gaps, representing only a part of the subject.
Painting has taken on an important role in recent years. It reflects the dialogue between drawing, materials and architecture, between line, surface and volume. It composes empty or constructed spaces, inhabited by characters, as if staged.
His works oscillate between a secret and tender intimacy, and the often baroque lyricism of a grand theatricality. In a very personal drawing, we feel his ambition to simply express life.
2021 winner of the TAYLOR FOUNDATION, Joêl Dabin prize, numerous solo exhibitions.
