Ammonite

Sylvie Bourdeau

&

2024

In Ammonite, Sylvie Bourdeau is inspired by the fascinating shape of this prehistoric creature, capturing both its mystery and its beauty. Using the raku technique, the sculpture presents complex textures and natural cracks that evoke the depth of time and the erosion of the elements. The spiral movement of ammonite is enhanced by the nuances of the ceramic, which vary according to the light and create an impression of dynamism despite the immobility of the object.

This sculpture is a continuation of Sylvie's marine creations, which also include works like Grouper, where she explores the shapes and textures of the aquatic world. Ammonite embodies a return to origins, in tribute to the ancient creatures that populated our oceans.

Madneom

Madneom

Discover the fascinating world of Madneom, the metal designer-sculptor, alias Benjamin Henry, since 2001. Fascinated by steel, iron, and metal, he considers them to be intimate allies in his artistic, architectural and artisanal creations.

The 2000s marked the advent of artistic wastelands, free art territories. Benjamin Henry joined one of these multidisciplinary artist groups, where the MADNEOM project, a scenographic research laboratory, was born.

Madneom advocates artistic freedom, favoring creative addiction and the exploration of unknown paths. Each work reflects a dreaminess mixed with industrial art, emerging from the constant challenge of new techniques and variations in use.

In 2012, the arrival of Floria Lunet enriched the picture. A versatile artist, she brings a unique dimension to the project. In 2023, as co-managers, this dynamic duo managed an artistic and artisanal structure focused on unusual creations: atypical layouts, original decorations, large-format sculptures and space design. Immerse yourself in the innovative world of Madneom, where creativity and artistic diversity flourish.

Thierry Ménéchal Thime

Thime

Thime, whose real name is Thierry Ménéchal, is an artist originally from Dordogne and currently based in Bordeaux, describes himself as a curious and creative autodidact. After a career as Sales Director in a large international group, he decided to change course to follow his artistic passion.

His artistic career took a turn in July 2015 when he discovered a new pigment-based technique while on vacation in Saint Martin. Inspired by a painter friend, he immersed himself in abstract art, considering this visual language to be the most seductive. Her artistic approach is based on three main axes: the use of pigments for effects and transparency, the use of oil for materials and reliefs, and the exploration of textured materials or linen sheets to cause movement.

He works with a knife, adopting a constant spontaneity in his gestures and movements. His artistic expression reflects his relationship to time, with rapid and obvious movements on some of his canvases.

Inviting everyone to plunge into their own imagination, THIME offers a unique artistic experience where each painting is the result of snapshots capturing doses of pigments, movements of matter, color choices, moods of the day, emotions, and feelings.

Collecting contemporary art: taking the leap for your first acquisition

Acquiring a work of art is a unique experience. Yet, for many, walking through the doors of a gallery can feel intimidating. Do you need to be an expert? Have a large budget? Understand the codes of the art market? At Galerie ADOR on the Île de Ré, we are convinced that contemporary art should first and foremost be a matter of sensitivity, curiosity, and pleasure. Because starting a collection doesn't necessarily mean becoming a "collector." It is simply choosing to bring into your home a piece that moves you and will stay with you over the years.
