Morphogenesis III

When sculpture celebrates the future of architecture…

Long Time Gone

Some paintings are named « still life » as if life could stand still. A sculpture can be still forever, a dry bone on a dry stone, somewhere no one goes.

Danse Fambeaux

Although modest, this gris-gris sculpture “Danse Fambeaux” is a tribute to fabulous artist Dr John.

Ancient Ritual

Discovering ochres cliffs is, still today, an astonishment. In the early times of humanity, it must have been taken as a gift from the gods…

Traces

A contemporary sculpture and a prehistoric artifact have in common the intention to leave a trace as a testimony.

Morphogenesis II

A painted sculpture offers a sort of synesthesia, when colours being associated with shapes, give a triple esthesis : form, colours, and their combination.

Morphogenesis I

Each and every structure is composed of elements. How those elements assemble to complete a form, is the fundamental principle of Morphogenesis.

Soul Sacrifice

None better than music to convey emotions, then turn them to sculpture and colours…
Rien de mieux que la musique pour transmettre des émotions, puis les transformer en sculptures et en couleurs…

Remains

A sculpture created today, is potentially vestigial. Time passing, one day, it might be exhumed, considered, together, with emotion, curiosity, and science.

Bass Sola

Bass is to music what sculpture is to painting. It carves and structures music, turning the air into volumes enhancing colours in space.

Taming the untamed

This painted sculpture features a harmony of colours that are regarded as opposite, non harmonious. Yet they vibrate together…

A « strange smell of purple » could be another way to introduce this sculpture, as it offers an invitation to a synaesthetic form of creation.

The Purple Variation

We are accustomed to seeing paintings on canvas. Here, the polychromy is done on volumes, therefore, slightly modifying the colours’ perception.

Gris-Gris

Gris-gris bear an infinity of shapes, colours, and sizes. Yet they mostly come out as polychromatic sculptures.

Iwa

Iwas are sorts of guardian angels, they seem to inspire a certain wisdom to their human followers. Some are more powerful than others, each will be chosen carefully.

Star Dust

Remember me or don’t. All in all, it has no importance. Whoever we are, wherever we come from, some day it has to stop.
Many of us have descendants, others do not, yet each generation might be the last one, and will leave a trace, a memento, an enigmatic remain ; here is mine. We are all star dust…

The Triumph of Venus

Sculptural triumphal tribute to the 21st. century Femininity Goddess.

Pin Ball Wizard Trophy

A Sculpture to be seen as a reduction of pin ball games’ visual language and erratic moves.

Incantation

When you are abducted by a chant. From very ancient beliefs that music, songs, have the power to bewitch humans. Mermaids, fairies, have the power to ravish you, to literally enchant you, and this is exactly what inspired music does!

Mythologies tell a lot about cultures, people, civilisations, and history. Sadly they are no longer part of nowadays’ knowledge.

Gooble Gobble

Any form of abnormality is the repletude of normality and of those believing they are part of it and therefore superior (it feels so good). Gooble Gobble

Purple haze all in my eyes – Don’t know if it’s day or night – You got me blowin’, blowin’ my mind – Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time? – Jimi Hendrix
