LETTER N°16 / SEPTEMBER 2019
|
Back - to - back
|
|
In a previous letter, we had a "one to one" , today I'd like to suggest a back-to back !
|
|
This year , several exhibitions have spotlighted the back and in a various ways.
|
the back is a great talker and it's a part of the body that I enjoy working a lot.
|
|
|
|
|
THE BACK IS A GREAT TALKER
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The back escapes control and speaks without lying, it is sincere and without a mask.
|
|
It's hard to see one's own back...
|
|
It expresses the full range of emotions; strength , weakness, tiredeness, suffering, sensuality...and it is a magnificent workspace for a sculptor !
|
|
That's why I like working with volume so much.
|
The points of view are innumerable, the light plays on different surfaces and while it is usual to exhibit a sculpture with a frontalview, I'm more than happy to turn the piece and show it from the back !
