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.
Laurence Cherade, an artist passionate about the coasts of northwestern France, captured her childhood fascination with the sea in the WAVES 2024/2025 project. His paintings pay tribute to the sea in all its savagery and beauty, exploring themes of danger and rebellion.
After studying at Beaux-Arts, Laurence perfected her art by exploring miniaturist painting, still lifes, and hyper-realistic animal painting in 2021/2022. Today, she is dedicated to large-format navies, where precision and attention to detail combine to create captivating works that invite careful exploration.
