Description

This striking sculptural diptych presents two meticulously crafted female figures, bathed and adorned with small ceramic flowers. Their voluminous hairstyles suggest a hybrid aesthetic, merging ancient traditions with modernity. The delicately painted faces display serene expressions, creating a sense of mystery and introspection. The hands are adorned with pearls or rings, introducing a playful and enigmatic dimension to the scene. Floral ornaments on the ears add a touch of refinement. The modular assembly of the ceramic elements offers an intriguing visual dynamic, while evoking the fragility and complexity of the human condition. This artistic masterpiece captivates with its ability to harmonize cultural connotations and contemporary innovations, prompting the viewer to reflect on identity and the duality of existence.

ACF: "The Gabrielles series is inspired by an anonymous painting of the Estrées sisters at their bath, 16th century, School of Fontainebleau. It is one of those enigmatic classic paintings that fascinated me as a child. Although it appeared in history textbooks, its interpretation remained elusive. It has held many surprises for me ever since."

Without aiming to illuminate past symbols, I like to create in dialogue with a work, an era, to convey the emotion and renewed strangeness of the encounter.

The sculpture features the busts of two nude young women whose lower bodies appear to be bathed in flowers. Their gestures are delicate, their glances knowing. One is adorned with rings on every finger, while the other presents her with a pearl. In this second version, the hairstyles are closer to those in the painting. The poses of the two young women differ with sensuality and gentleness.

Second version. Molded from the block, slip-coated earthenware, spot glaze

Presentation

Trained as an architect, graphic designer, iconographer, and illustrator, I now devote myself to ceramic sculpture*.

Inspired by human and artistic encounters, and by travel, I continue the tradition of sculpting. Portraits, characters, scenes, and chronicles inhabit my world.

In search of a unique, personal, meaningful and sensitive narrative, I observe man in his relationship to the world, to his environment under influences, to Art, in order to offer a contemporary polychrome, poetic, sometimes enigmatic vision.

The earth is the providential tactile territory that allows me to produce from little to move towards the essential: to find a freedom of representation and emotions, a language of volume and light, of meaning and signs, of narratives and imaginaries.

However, ceramic sculpture is a demanding craft. I seek a symbiotic relationship with the material in the creation of the form, right up to its transformation by fire. The delicate process of applying color and glaze fosters the same connection, throughout the firings until the nuances are revealed.

I am currently working with a type of earthenware clay which allows me to fire my pieces at low temperatures, thus preserving all the freshness and brightness of the color in a contemporary matte finish.

My workshop is located in Reims, in Champagne.

Born in a land of chalk and cathedrals, I discovered clay at almost forty; I then began entering sculpture competitions and pursuing further training. Ten years later, I launched my professional career. In 2022, I had the honor of having a booth at the "Révélations" exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. In 2023, the Perrotin Gallery purchased a portrait of Sophie Calle from me. A multiple recipient of the Luxembourg Art Prize, I am also a member of Ateliers d'Art de France.
