Départ by Laurence Bonnel

The human figure plays a key role in the works of Laurence Bonnel. She creates in particular, architectural silhouettes, almost primitive, which emanates a grand presence. The motif of the human, that of couples and that of the crowd, is recurrent and central in her imagination, and is purified with the formal stylization that immediately evokes the art of Giacometti, or the Cubist bodies of Zadkine.“Silhouettes without sight, yet expressive. Like the difficult experience of questioning oneself”. The Silhouettes express in themselves, their narrative form. They find their transmission through the inner and subjective experience of the spectator. The process of identification takes place: the more one observes the Silhouette, the more one gets into introspection.

 

 

 

Kabuki by Marie-Paule Deville Chabrolle

Kabuki is the fruit of the collaboration between the French sculptor Marie-Paule Deville-Chabrolle and the Maison Daum. Inspired by the Japanese culture, the Kabuki touches us with its softness, delicateness and elegance. This crystal in powdered-pink sublimates the finesse of the shape and unveils magnificent details of the folds of her kimono.
