"Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?"
- Leonardo Da Vinci
Le Voyage Imaginaire was created in 2012 as a wall installation exhibited at Art Curial in Paris for AD Collection.
The main elements of this artwork are white ground limestone merged with bronze and silver metals.
"The clear ethereal azure; and from star
To star still gliding, to the heaven of heavens
Aspire, and plunging thro' the sapphire blaze..."
- Richard Polwhele (1810)
In our Ethereal collection, the main area of enquiry relates to air, the notion of dreams and the otherworldly. From the sense of beauty in crisis and dislocation to the more spatially distant and unconscious, there is an underlying thread of the artistic observation of changes in nature in all our collections. The space around us is vast and seemingly endless, as if there is a universal visual language we seem to understand intrinsically. We are both observants and participants. One of the oldest stories of our planet is the one of explosion and expansion (Starburst), derived from pureness and luminosity. The aesthetics we propose in Ethereal reflect our oldest human story, the history of our planet.
