Ce paysage qui m’habite
The artist, originally from Quebec, Canada, lives and works in Morogues (18 – Cher).
“I arrived in Morogues four years ago to further my knowledge of wood firing, mainly in anagama kilns. When I create sculptures and place them in the anagama, I think about the flames, the path they will take, and the surfaces they will bring to life. Fire is my ally.
Several of the sculptures and containers in this exhibition take their inspiration from small stones and fossils that I have found in my surroundings in Morogues and on the seashore. The contrast between the smooth, highly textured surfaces of these stones catches my attention on my walks.
I am also interested in gesture, in the marks made by our fingers on clay, and I try to convey spontaneity on a large scale. I explore the tools required to achieve this. I look at ploughed fields, I admire the fissures in the earth, the rhythm. How can I translate all this into my sculptures? That is something that preoccupies me.”
Sangwoo Kim
Le vent souffle. L’eau coule. Le temps passe
The artist, originally from Korea, lives and works in Collonge-en-Charollais (71-Saône-et-Loire).
Sangwoo Kim makes stones. He combines aesthetics with tactile experience, drawing inspiration from a nature which provides him with an infinite variety of shapes and colours. He uses clay to create hollow forms, both open and closed, and then uses their surfaces to combine colours and structures. Valleys, rivers and landscapes emerge from the material as if by accelerated erosion, and the scenes anticipated by the artist appear in all their splendour, drawing our gaze and inviting us to touch them. His work is both aesthetic and sensual, reflecting an imaginary geology, revealing the artist’s Asian origins.
