Description
This patinated plaster sculpture explores the fragility of human bonds through elongated silhouettes. The work of the material reveals rough and irregular textures. A immense figure leans with a protective benevolence over a childlike figure.
The contrast of the scales emphasizes a relationship of transmission or support. The gesture is suspended in a solemn silence. The minuscule silhouette holds a small rectangular block, a focal point bringing a warm chromatic nuance to the whole. Surely a schoolbag.
The precarious balance of the bodies creates a striking graphic tension. The slender limbs anchor themselves on a flat, textured base. The dark patina accentuates the relief of the surfaces and plays with the light. Each detail highlights the vulnerability of beings facing the space surrounding them. The whole rests on a gray metal base.
Presentation
Born in 1974, Julie Malbequi lives and works in the Parisian region. A sculptor and psychologist, she develops a practice nourished by a shared curiosity for the human being.
Her elongated characters, with imperfect, sometimes damaged bodies, allow us to see our fragilities without seeking to repair or conceal them. They invite us to look upon them with a softer gaze.
Long in the heart of her work, plaster today dialogues with bronze, metal, or concrete. Accidents, roughness, and irregularities of material participate in her sculptural language where strength and vulnerability coexist.
Today, her work opens up to public space and participatory projects. Sculpture thus becomes a way to meet places and those who inhabit them.
