Dessins à la craie sèche sur papier, encadrements - 50x65cm - 2013
Enveloppes, packagings, contenants, ces objets propres à la consommation sont vidés de leur contenu. Le pli et le froissement, caractéristiques de beaucoup d’objets rebuts, abîmés, froissés ou utilisés sont un terrain d’exploration dans ma pratique du dessin.
Mon travail de réutilisation’ de l’objet passe par plusieurs étapes (collecte, prises de vues photographiques, dessin) et s’articule autour d’un jeu de transferts et de compressions d’images. Ainsi, du réel on passe par la 2D de la photographie puis, par un dessin très réaliste, on vient jouer avec une fausse 3D. L’ encadrement vient boucler la boucle, de manière illusoire il aplatit l’objet dessiné.
In my work, the matter is constrained, just like the body, both in action and in the making, it is tested. Therefore, it is common to build tensions, ambiguities, to play with forces and sometimes to bring the matter to cause its own breaking.
The trace, the manufacturing processes, the accidents ; every coincidence is important. Trivial objects, brand-new daily materials or materials extracted from their initial contexts reveal the reality of a changing world, crumbles and rebuilds itself but also of a world which abandons, throws away and continuously buys other objects. My approach reconsiders the relationship between sculpture, space, time and action, by questioning the experience and the future of these objects. These experiences reveal an attempt to command the entropy. I often try to thwart time by modifying the stage of life of the objects, by altering their states. Slowing down the erosion process by freezing the ephemeral or speeding up the process by aggravating deterioration. The idea is to enhance their actual structures and their properties through proposed sculptures and installations which challenge their possibilities and their plasticities
EESAB was founded on December 27, 2010. It brings together the higher art schools in Brest, Lorient, Quimper and Rennes. These four schools had previously been part of a single association for over twenty years. This association was formed to promote and develop the higher arts schools in Brittany and played a unifying role in promoting their activities and forming partnerships with other cultural establishments.
