 Difficile liberté |
Historian specialist in contemporary China, Elisabeth Brillet settles in 1999 in Issoudun and discovers the
the pottery of La Borne (french town). Four years later, she creates her own workshop. The Elisabeth Brillet's
sculptures are closely related to poetry. Each sculpture is designed in resonance with a poem. Bruno Durocher,
Paul Celan and Edmond Jabès are the poets who inspire her sandstone works. The artist gives also a
place particular to the Cantique des Cantiques, translated by André Chouraqui. One year of work on the golden
number enabled her to finalize her artistic step. Geometric space, complementarity of the right-hand side and
the curve, the vacuum and full, sobriety and almost perfect control of volumes generate power and energy with
her sandstone sculptures. Croître en rien (To grow of nothing) - Elisabeth Brillet - Sandstone Sculptures modelled- Exposure of Saturday March 22nd to Sunday April 27th |

Between Téhérant
and Antibes, the childhood of Pascal Cerchi is bathed by pictures and icons from antiquity. His artist course
makes him travel since 1986 and discover India and China. His works the ink and then concentrates on the
protraits and the faces. Then in 2004, he discovers alabaster, tender, white, translucent, veined of yellow,
red or brown rock. Used since Etruscan civilization (VIIIth century before J.C.), this rock brings back
Pascal Cerchi to the time of the vestiges... From a glare emerging from the ground, he gives off the matter
useful for the reading because "stones keep all, in them, a work to discover". Crumplings and the meanders of
the rock are used to him to create bestiary, faces and Venus. Parcours de Pierre - Pascal Cerchi - Alabaster - Exhibition from Thursday May 1st to Sunday June 29th. |

Since 1999,
Jonathan Chaillou works out a technique of sculpture in wire. He creates insects that he "x-rays" with its
manner, preserving only natural contours of the body of the insect : edges and folds of the carapace, the shape
of the members and the bodies, limits between the colors. Ants, plant louses, praying mantis, wasp... these
animals have as a common point of the lines and the details close to the feature and the wire. The artistic
step of Jonathan Chaillou is also to play with light and the shades of his insects. The artist
wishes to make the most details possible. For that, he observes with the magnifying glass collected insects.
He adapts his technique then, imagines new nodes to bind wire between them or to thicken them. Jonathan Chaillou - Wire sculptures of insects - Exhibition from Thursday July 3rd to Sunday August 3rd. |

In her
house-workshop of Montreuil, Claire Basler puts in scene in multiple containers, vases, pots, bottles, the
flowers of her garden or those bought in the florist. End of its brush, appears a whole vegetable world made
by powdered flag and viola, lace poppies, cracked tree bark... On gray blue funds, frosted green or irrized
yellow, the flowers of Claire Basler undulate and vibrate. Claire Basler painted flowers but tells also the
life. Brittleness, softness, the force and the violence of nature are for her the reflection of the human life.
Giant flowers, insane grasses, sheets in battle, Claire Basler often paints on fabrics of large size.
She also creates barbotines for the faience manufacture of Gien and drawings for textile. Claire Basler - Paintings - Exhibition from Thursday August 7 to Tuesday September 30. |
