Description
A dog, freed from its leash, darts off. It runs, supported by its two front paws. The leash trails behind, providing the sculpture with a third point of support. In another sculpture, "The Race," I address the same subject, depicting only the bare essentials. Here, I opt for a complete anatomy. The energy is then conveyed by highlighting the muscles and joints. In "The Race," the viewer is more attuned to the modeling, the lines, the sculpture itself, whereas in "The Escape," the viewer is more attuned to the model, to the beauty of the dog itself.
This brings us back to a question we can ask ourselves when faced with any figurative work: am I admiring a work of art or the subject of that work?
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.
