Mélanie Bourlon – Sculptures Papier maché – Death
Le travail de Mélanie Bourlon s’inscrit dans une démarche de simplicité, au sens noble du terme.
Elle cultive un jardin où l’être prend le pas sur l’avoir au travers d’un bestiaire qui égrène des traits humains qui se réconcilient avec la nature.
Le choix de matières dites pauvres, brutes, ou peu onéreuses, qu’elle glane et récupère puis détourne, illustre son univers de fables dans lequel elle se jour des modes et des époques toujours dans un soucis d’esthétique, du beau, fait avec peu de choses.
Le motif, qu’il soit animal ou végétal, travaillé grandeur nature connait une renaissance, une revisite naturaliste.

They personified the forest to accentuate the natural beauty by creating luring luminescent plants and glowing magical mushrooms that speaks volumes to any visitor that enters the minds of the artists through viewing « bioluminescent forest ».
Beautiful Art Tapestry sculptures of Frederique Morrel. Multi-talent artiste (France, Paris)
« We speak to animals in their own language. We like materials that tell stories of simple, ideal happiness, and that have been caressed by many hands.
We are inspired by Adam and Eve. The Garden of Eden. temptation. Original sin. The fall of man. Paradise Lost. Deluge. Apocalypse. Noah’s ark. Redemption. Re-birth. Vanities. Veneration.
We Question the dynamics of man vs woman, craft vs industry, of art vs decoration, of man vs animal, of beauty vs ugly, luxury vs cheap. »
Sculptures en { grillage } de Kendra Haste. (GB) / Galvanised wire Sculptures
Kendra Haste – ARIZONA JACKRABBIT (2013) – Sculptures grillage
« What interests me most about studying animals is identifying the spirit and character of the individual creatures. I try to create a sense of the living, breathing subject in a static 3-D form, attempting to convey the emotional essence without indulging in the sentimental or anthropomorphic »
Recently commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces to fabricate thirteen sculptures as part of an exhibition ‘Royal Beasts’ exploring the history of the Royal Menagerie at the Tower of London. The work will remain on-site as a permanent installation once the exhibition finishes.
Made from her trademark material, galvanised wire; life-size lions, baboons, a polar bear and an elephant help tell the story of the exotic animals that were a popular tourist attraction at the Tower from the 1100s.

Beautiful whales photography – Darren Jew – Australia
///
Having been inspired to explore a career in nature photography by my father’s travels in Antarctica, I now pursue a passion for capturing and sharing the wonder of the natural world.
After graduating from the Queensland College of Art, I first worked in commercial photography, before taking up a position as photographer with the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service, where I worked for 8 years.
I moved on from that part of my career in 1994 and my work is now published widely in books, magazines and paper products. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph extensively across Australia and in Africa, Alaska, Patagonia and Antarctica and have introduced many people to the world’s great wildlife and landscape destinations first hand, through small group photography tours, predominantly to Africa and Antarctica and the Pacific.

Horses sculptures of Saone de Stalh. (FR) née en 1984.
Sculpteur-plasticienne, elle se consacre entièrement à un projet : la réalisation de sculptures équestres monumentales.
Les sculptures de cette jeune artiste trouvent leurs racines dans les hantises secrètes où prennent vie les mouvements naturels à l’animal. La langue de la matière se lit surtout à travers la structure de l’œuvre : dans les mains de Saône de Stalh le corps du cheval respire, instinct et imaginaire se rejoignent pour inventer un surcroit de présence. C’est précisément la combinaison de l’aspect de témoignage et l’amour des formes puissantes qui est alternée dans cette recherche abrupte, consciente, qui interroge l’homme sur son animalité. Au cours de ce cérémonial de création en clair-obscur, l’artiste permet à la ligne de dégager son incroyable force.
Une sculpture nécessite addition de plusieurs techniques. Au commencement, il y a le bois qui forme grossièrement la structure de l’animal. Les membres sont ensuite formés grâce à des moules en résine réalisés grâce à une première sculpture. Après le bois et la résine vient le papier qui donne une forme plus réaliste à la sculpture mais c’est ensuite l’application de plusieurs couches de résine qui donnera la forme finale au cheval. Pour niveler l’ensemble, plusieurs heures de ponçage sont ensuite nécessaires. La peinture donne alors la touche finale à l’ensemble.
Saône Stahl is a French artist born in 1984 Sculptor-visual artist, she devoted herself fully to a project: achieving monumental equestrian sculptures. The sculptures of this young artist are rooted in secret obsessions that come to life the natural movements of the animal. The language of the material reads mainly through the structure of the work: in the hands of Saône de Stalh, the horse’s body breathing: instinct and imagination come together to invent extra presence. It is precisely the combination of appearance and testimony of the love of powerful forms that alternates in this abrupt research, conscious, interviewing the man on his animal. During this ceremony on « light and dark », the artist allows the line to clear his incredible strength.
A sculpture requires addition of several techniques. In the beginning, there was wood that roughly forms the structure of the animal. Members are then trained through resin molds made through a first sculpture. After wood and resin comes the paper gives a more realistic shape to the sculpture but then the application of several layers of resin that will give the final shape to the horse. To level the set, several hours sanding are then needed. The painting then gives the final touch to the whole.

Enchanted world of Rebekah Bogard sculptures. (USA)
Rebekah Bogard started drawing animals when she was growing up in Wyoming, and she never stopped, not even as a grad student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Rebekah Bogard – Sculptures
“I enjoy utilizing animals because they are beautiful and mysterious creatures, vulnerable to relations with humans. This susceptibility gives them a sense of benevolence that is often lacking in human associations….Some pieces look cute, sweet and innocent, but upon closer inspection, one realizes that the piece is conceptually more complicated. They may be read simultaneously as happy-go-lucky as well as melancholic and out of place. I blend the beautiful with the sad, fantasy with reality, idealism with truth as well as the sexual with the innocent.”
