“Nucléaire”: gold leaf and automobile paint on resin 10 x 10 x 13cm (each)

These will be available at the Luxembourg Art Fair. With Range Of Arts gallery…

It’s been a hell of a year, 2016.

These eyes are the result of 18 months of planning, sketching, trying, failing, sculpting, and destroying . I wanted to break away from my painting. To make something completely new.

Finally I have something satisfactory. But best of all I know where I am going with the series.

The planet’s events in the past 18 months have struck me  emotionally. I was supposed to be at dinner over by the Bataclan on Nov 13th. Brexit was a big blow. Then, on July 14th, at the last minute, we decided to not go to the Nice fireworks. It was our first day of vacation. At the end of August I walked right next to the car bomb that did not explode or rue de Buci, close to Notre Dame. Then there was the US elections that traumatized and divided my homeland. These manga eye sculptures are my reaction.

A special thanks to my gallerist, Oscar Seran, for his support.

      1. No, he’s an instagram kitty I’ve enjoyed watching. Apparently, he has a rare disease that causes his eyes to continue to grow. But his owner says the vets tell her he’s in no pain and he can still see.
