About The Artwork

The Breach is my first art piece designed in two pieces. These pieces, numbered 2/8, are made by a mixture of hard resin-clay composite material, then tinted, patined and waxed. Each piece is a huge rock where a town was built at the top. I called them Vyasan and Tamnig recently, as they are part of my mental map of the Addictionville project. But its creation recalls back to 2012, soon after my come back of Bangladesh, one of the flattest countries on earth. When living there I must have secretly longed for high rocks and impressive heights! And here it is... Incredibly high and unseizable strongholds, seperate from each other by an uncrossable breach. Still each town has erected strong protective walls if ever the other city becomes a danger... which is, because of the environment, highly hypothetic. Vyasan is a much more open type of society, as you'll find the walls just facing the breach and Tamnig. Whereas in Tamnig, walls are all around the castle of the Despot, which seems to need protection also from his own population! Each town is organised in a way it does not need any help or products from anywhere else: there is everything necessary for survival, and even a better living than expected, if you notice fine buildings, market places, and crops' fields. Here I just marvel at the capacity of humans to survive in sometimes very harsh environments. If we succeeded also in excelling in better relationships between humans, it would be even a greater life on earth...

I am a French and Polish artist, born in Paris in 1972. Coming from a family of artists (my mother Julita is a sculptor, my sister Gabrielle a painter, my brother Pierre a music composer...) I've expressed myself in my childhood mainly through drawing. Then for many years I dropped art totally and went into studies and work, to realise a few years back I cannot live without creating. A peak time is my New York experience for a few month in 2008, where I briefly just plunged into creation, before coming back to what had become my normal everyday life... After that, this urge for creation has grown on me progressively until a recent making out in 2011, when returning from a very enriching experience as a plumber in Bangladesh slums, where I had spent about a year and a half... Quite lost at my return home, I can say I slowly came back to myself only through art. The action of sculpting was a highly restructuring experience to me.It rebuilt me and gave a new meaning to my life. Since then, I've been creating and considering myself as an artist. In the meantime I got married and am a father of adorable twin boys, born in 2016. With this parenthood experience my creation has necessarily evolved, I considered myself primarily as a sculptor, but with restricted time and access to my clay workshop in Touraine I had much frustration. Hence my latest sculpture projects with various materials including recyclables and rubbish, my recent return to drawing, my discovery of collage and also painting to a lesser extent. Today, another page will be turned with our installation mid 2017 in a new house in Saint Cloud, near Paris, with the possibility of having a workshop at home, and generally more space and more time dedicated to creation.
