Incarnation

Eric Vanel

2023

In Incarnation, Éric Vanel once again manages to play with the contrast between the heaviness of bronze and the apparent lightness of the figure he sculpts. The woman, placed with natural ease on her supports, seems relaxed, almost floating, despite the inherent rigidity of the material. This feeling of lightness is accentuated by the detail of the hair, which seems to be caught in a breath of wind, as if the movement was still playing out in the air around her.

The hair in the wind, of remarkable finesse, is reminiscent of that of Goddess, another sculpture by Vanel, where the lightness of the forms also contrasts with the weight of bronze. This paradox between heavy matter and the light appearance of Incarnation invites us to reflect on the duality of the human body: both rooted in material reality and capable of rising, almost spiritually, beyond its physical constraints. The woman's posture, both relaxed and confident, illustrates this idea of embodiment: she embodies both the strength of the material and the lightness of the spirit.

Magnus

Creativ Lumin'art

2024

Magnus is a sculptural work created by Bruno, aka Creativ Lumin'art, by combining chains and brass. The assembly of these industrial and metallic materials creates a powerful work, where the robustness of the chains is combined with the brilliance of brass. Magnus embodies strength and authority through its imposing lines and dynamic design. Every detail is carefully worked to capture an impression of movement and power in the material.

This sculpture echoes Jhu, another play by Bruno, where chains are also used to express the strength and grace of an animal. While Magnus focuses on brute force, Jhu highlights the elegance of an iguana through more organic forms. Like his other works, Magnus is a unique piece, delivered with a certificate of authenticity.

Arched head down

Paulo Arica

2024

With Arched Head Down, Paulo Arica captures a shark in a downward motion, with its head tilted downwards as if it were diving into the deep sea. The body is represented in a curve, accentuating the fluidity of the movement thanks to the careful assembly of cardboard plates. The honeycombed material provides subtle transparency, reinforcing the impression of lightness and movement despite the shark's robustness.

This sculpture complements Paulo's other works, such as Curved White Shark, which also explores the fluidity and elegance of sharks in action.

Thomas Turner

Thomas Turner worked in movie decoration for a long time before devoting himself entirely to his art in 2012. Painter and sculptor, he works on the refinement of lines and likes to play with the notions of “borders”, those between the abstract and the figurative, the mechanical and the biological, the inert and the living.

He takes particular care to ensure that his works reflect a balance between strength and delicacy, by combining, for example, the roughness of a texture with the softness of a curve. He lives and works in Brittany, near Dinan.
