Description

Artwork created using Paris stone and Klein blue pigment.

This striking sculpture is distinguished by its bold use of vibrant Klein blue, immediately captivating the viewer's attention. The dynamically lined work comprises two distinct segments: a stable, angular base and an organic, head-like form. The rough texture of the top contrasts with the smooth surface of the bottom, creating an intriguing visual dichotomy. The stone's imprint, worked with remarkable precision, reflects undeniable craftsmanship. Through its sophisticated simplicity, the work invites reflection on materiality and color, transporting the viewer to a world where abstraction and reality meet harmoniously. This masterpiece stands as a contemporary icon, innovatively merging minimalism and expressionism.

Iris Vargas

France  • 1953

Presentation

Born in 1953 in the Venezuelan Andes, Iris Vargas studied at the School of Anthropology in Venezuela and the National School of Fine Arts in Caracas and Paris. She has lived and worked in the Paris region since 1979.

She sculpts marble and all kinds of stone directly, developing movement and contrast. Women are her favourite subject. Since 1991, her exploration of materials has led her to develop a personal style, which she calls 'Marbres Sauvages' (Wild Marbles). In this style, she creates a rhythm between the stability of the structures and the ingenious arrangement of mobile variations.

Thanks to her knowledge of stone, Iris Vargas has been called upon to participate in the restoration of historic monuments such as the Louvre, Les Invalides and the National Archives.

She exhibits regularly in France, at the Carrousel du Louvre, the Salon d'Automne, and the Jardin du Luxembourg, as well as abroad in Heidelberg, Germany, Switzerland, the Salon d'Automne, and XIAN in China. She has been listed in the Bénezit catalogue since 1999.
