"Crocodilus fessus" is like a new species, an hybrid beetween man (the casting of my forearm) and a crocodile (the eye and the green scaly skin) Crocodilus fessus means "Tired crocodile", like a forearm resting on a counterop, waiting for the next glass of alcohol to come. Maybe the crocodile's eye is that of the temptation or the addiction. I cast a flesh colored wax in my forearm's moulding, insert a painted glass eye and make a shades of green patina on top (with scales) Edition of 6 sculptures + two artist proofs This one is 4th out of 6 (3 sold) Please note that each one is actuallly unique and might slightly differ from the pictures proposed herein.

I currently live and work in Toulouse, SW France, the region where I was born in 1963.. Trained as a scientist I practised for some time as a part-time veterinary surgeon. As a self-taught artist (thanks to all those who helped and guided me), my first works were marble and bronze sculptures of wild animals - my ambition at the time was to produce objects of beauty. Then my scientific background and a better knowledge of art history drove me to explore the living and artistic worlds more deeply, together with the need to “use” animals to represent various facets of human behaviour. Thus appeared animal, anatomical and organic figures for which metamorphosis and hybridization are often central themes. While I like to work with different mediums and materials depending on my creational purpose, wax has come to predominate for me in both sculpture and painting. I also currently work with artist Luc Laumet, one notable example being our recent Drawing correspondence: 260 drawing exchanged beetween 14 December 2016 and 5 December 2017 http://pierrefauret.com/dessins-croises/ ....................................................................................
