EGSHELL ALCHEMY
IN SITU AT VILLERS -LA-VILLE ABBEY
PAINTING WITH THE LIGHT AND INCLUDING THE NATURE...
In this work of intertwining and mysterious reliefs, the alchemy of pigments, eggshells, flowers, wood and fibers, play an essential role in the composition of these vegetal Painting-Tapestries.
This poetic aspect of the work reinterprets the textile art language, becoming vibrant with an intriguing dimension, likely to offer to the spectator a multiple experience , changing under the reflections of the sky and the light, or wind movements.
Working with the impact of the Light and Color on the Form and the Matter, those artworks create a physical relation with the spectator wondering of the elements that constitute it.
These works propose a contemplative vision through a meandering alchemy of materials, openworks and projected shadows wich together evoke a play of light and natural elements, refer to the intrinsic link between man and nature, and offer a unending contemplative vision.

Those translucent “ stained glass “ monumental tapestries and "oculus" have been specifically created for their placement in the numerous abbatial windows and the choir. Those 17 textile works of art , made of Eggshell and flowers of the abbey gathered last summer and preserved until their inclusion, are in-between paintings and non woven art tapestries. Playing with the light such as "stained glass" , they offer various visions according to the moment of the day, sun, clouds and wind... A sense of spirituality emerges through their interaction with the architecture, the nature and the birds song. |
