Alain Mandon presents himself as a self-taught artist. First a painter, then a sculptor, he created his first sculpture seven years ago, inspired by his wife's breast cancer and her breast reconstruction journey. To help her accept her new body, he made a first bust by molding her body, wishing to reveal her beauty. This first success, both psychological for his wife and artistic, encouraged him to continue on this path.
Since then, Alain has devoted a large part of his work to creating sculpted busts representing body fragments. He starts with a plaster cast, which he uses to shape his sculptures by projecting molten metal. The artist works with the material in such a way as to give it an irregular effect, as if it had been eroded by time. This gives his works an almost antique look, like relics that have survived the centuries.
The work of Alain Mandon, imbued with profound sensitivity and technical mastery, invites us to contemplate the timeless beauty of human forms, transformed by trial and enhanced by art. His sculptures, both fragile and powerful, are moving testimonies of resilience and love.
Julie is an artist from Saint-Étienne, who has always been passionate about the ocean. For her, moving water creates lights and shapes that are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for her art. She is particularly fascinated by the power of the waves, which remind humanity of its humble position in the face of the greatness and strength of nature. Although she started painting in 2018, it was during lockdown in 2020 that Julie fully launched her passion for painting waves and the ocean. She has exhibited several times in Paris and all over France.
Julie's unique style vividly captures the energy and beauty of the waves. Her passion for the sea and the waves is clearly reflected in each of her works, which are both soothing and captivating. She also explores deeper and more intense themes, where waves are depicted in a darker and more aggressive way, offering a different and more complex perspective on her art.
