Sculptures hyperealistes Carole Feuerman, born 1945.
Working in both monumental and life size, she is the only figurative artist to hyperrealistically paint bronze for use in outdoor public art, and the only sculptor to install these sculptures in the water.
Patricia Broothaers – androgyn and bashful sculptures..
OSerais-je pour certaines.. parler qu’elles dégagent un « quelquechose » de très trans ?
En tout cas, une émotion pudique et très parlante, un aspect « grimée » très particulier.

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. »
Rachel Ducker Wire Sculpture. (UK)
British contemporary artist, Rachel Ducker was originally trained as a jeweller. With an insatiable desire to create she turned her attention to sculpting the human form in wire, concentrating on the expressive and emotional dynamics of human nature.
Rachel Ducker Wire Sculptures
« With an incredibly visual, active mind Rachel has an insatiable desire to create and make. Well practiced in life drawing and with an appreciation of the human form and the emotional dynamics of human nature, combined with being originally trained as a jeweller, lead her to experiment with wire as a medium for sculpting the human form, capturing something ephemeral, either emotive or active.
Her pieces are untitled due to her belief that everyone sees something different in the sculptures and her lack of suggestion leads them to live that moment she portrays in their own particular way, therefore expanding the piece of work further with every viewer.
The translucency and form of her work allows rather dramatic shadows to be cast and with the right lighting, can show the three dimensional form on a two dimensional level creating an effect resembling a pencil sketch on the wall.
Rachel uses no model and she doesn’t form the shape around anything. The posture is first designed and then the pieces are carefully molded by hand and then gradually added to, wrapping wire, layer by layer. Her satisfaction with the posture can be instantaneous or take days and every angle important right to the tip of the finger and to a millimetre of adjustment until just right. She discovered that the slightest movement in the angle of the hand or fingers, or the tilting of the head changes everything the figure is portraying.
Her sculptures being featureless leaves the posture to say all, expressing the feeling. The hair creating the scene, making all more turbulent, dramatic, adding latent movement and tenacity. She is very focused on people watching and body language and how people express themselves physically and all goes along side her keen interest in psychology.
Her inspiration may come from the human form, but she is also greatly inspired by different materials, found objects and new techniques and is keen to combine mediums, finding it often leading to new ideas, which Rachel is never short of!
The wire work keeps her more than busy, supplying over twenty galleries in the UK alone, various exhibitions and numerous private commissions globally. But Rachel tries to keep her active mind diverse in it’s creativity. She still makes her silver cast jewellery to commission and enjoys experimenting with painting, life drawing monoprints, photography and is keen to try animation with the wire figures, as well as constantly moving on with the sculpture. »

Sculptures métamorphosées et poétiques de Armelle Blary. (France) – Tissus, fil de fer
Son univers personnel se développe dans des œuvres où l’humain, l’objet, l’animal, le végétal se croisent dans une poétique de l’entre-deux et du devenir.
Nourrie de littérature, Armelle Blary recourt volontiers aux mythes anciens. Elle puise dans les récits de métamorphose matière à produire des formes inédites qui embrassent dans une même énergie le vivant et le perdu. Le prétexte poétique devenant ainsi le moyen privilégié d’une réflexion sur le désir, la mort, l’amour, la foi…
From one style to the other, from one artistic medium to another… Sculptures of Grzegorz Gwiazda. (Pologne) – Bronze, resin, ceramics, paper…
About the medium: In all Gwiazda sculptures, great attention is paid to the colouring and the patina. Sometimes not only the colour is important but also the fact itself that it is “painted” on the work, insomuch as the artist leaves the effects of the drops and strokes visible. One might wonder if the sculptures are a mass that emerges from the two-dimensional surface of painting or if the latter is the inevitable conclusion of the sculptor’s work.
Beautiful Metal ART – Marie-josee Roy (Canada),
Sculptures
et pour les peintures métales, Technique mixte sur aluminium. Gravure au burin, Jerome Prieur.
Marie-josee Roy – L’onde cantique
Depuis 20 ans, le métal exerce toujours aussi fortement sur l’artiste son pouvoir d’attraction.
Ses peintures, sur métal, aliant photographies, encre à l’huile, gravure……
Ses sculptures métalliques forgées, soudées ou coulées, …
Cette matière, elle l’a fait sienne.
Marie-Josée Roy ressent le métal comme s’il était devenu une partie de son corps. Une seconde peau. Une armure., le murmure d’une armure.
L’artiste trace un parallèle entre les les propriétés magnétiques, résilientes, fusionnelles, lumineux du métal et les relations humaines qui leur sont communes.
Son expression est physique, et pas seulement parce que travailler le métal demande de la force, elle est physique, point. Pas final cependant. Au contraire. Cela ouvre un grand pan sur sa personnalité et sur la nature intrinsèque de son expression. De la candeur affective et de l’humilité amenées à l’image avec une facture poétique, intense et venant du ventre.
Par le feu et le métal, le chaud et le froid à la fois, Marie-Josée Roy dépouille toute pensée unissant essences opposées, Elle extériorise l’intériorité de l’être.
Since more than 20 years, metal has been and still is showing life and attraction between Marie-Josée Roy’s chiselling hands.
Her paintings, on metal, matching with photography, ink oil, engraving…
Her metallic sculptures, forged, welded, poured..,
Marie-Josée Roy feels the metal like if it was one of her body’s vital organ. A second skin, an armor, the murmur of an armor.
The artist traces a parallel between the magnetic, resilient, fusional, and bright features of the metal and the human relations to which they are related.
Her mean of expression is physical, and not only because working the metal relies on strength, she is physical, period. But, however, not final. On the contrary. It unfolds a huge aspect of her personality and of the inherent nature of her expression. Affective naïvety and humility sticking to the picture with a poetic, intense signature coming from deep inside.
From fire and metal, warm as cold, Marie-Josée Roy relieves any thought unifying opposite essences. She exteriorises the interiority of being.
AWSOME Mixed media sculptures of Kris Kuksi
et le mot est faible face à son imagination, des détails et de la technique !
(Born 1973, in Springfield Missouri and growing up in neighboring Kansas)
A post-industrial Rococo master, Kris Kuksi obsessively arranges characters and architecture in asymmetric compositions with an exquisite sense of drama. Instead of stones and shells he uses screaming plastic soldiers, miniature engine blocks, towering spires and assorted debris to form his landscapes.
The political, spiritual and material conflict within these shrines is enacted under the calm gaze of remote deities and august statuary. Kuksi manages to evoke, at once, a sanctum and a mausoleum for our suffocated spirit. Guillermo del Toro
World of Charles Avery / (born 1973) is a Scottish artist from Oban.
He currently lives and works in London. Since 2004, he has devoted his practice to the perpetual description of an imaginary island. Through drawings, sculptures and texts. Avery describes the topology, cosmology and inhabitants of this fictional territory, from the market of the main town Onomatopoeia to the Eternal Forest where an unknown beast called the Noumenon is held to reside. The project can be read as a meditation on some of the central themes of philosophy of art-making, and on the colonization and ownership of the world of ideas.
He is represented by the gallery Pilar Corrias in London.

Saltimbanques agités, mannequins décharnés, démantibulés, de quel enfer nostalgique de fiel et de hasard, vous êtes vous échappés ? De quel désespoir aigu êtes vous revenus ? Vous hantez nos misères et vous saccagez nos habitudes. Vous réveillez le chaos sublime endormi dans nos passages cloutés. Vous éveillez nos bas-fonds perdus. Vous enchantez nos pulsions détruites, vous dansez à vif et à cru sur l’ennui de nos écrans, et vous ensanglantez nos routines. Créatures de survie sauvage, vous nous sauvez la vie, et nos démons s’enracinent aux affres de vos désirs… Christian Noorbergen

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.
