A pair of monolithic ceramic sculptures by Hervé Rousseau (born 1955).
Made of unwrought stoneware.
Works and lives in La Borne.
Both works signed. Circa 2015.
Unique pieces.
Height 70 and 80 cm.
Height 32 and 40 inches.
Fired with full flame in a Naborigama wood oven for six days.
These pieces are marked by the artist’s gestural imprint. Rough-bodied blocks , landscapes and torsos , marked with tumb , palm and foot imprints.
His sculptures are looking like magma , mineral , eroded , archaic , brutalist , exploded , cracked , mysterious , alive.
He traveled in Africa (Togo and Mali) in the 1980 and 2000. These trips are initiatory trips where African potters become major players in his sources of inspiration.
Of great rudeness , his work show the interaction of his body and his hands with the organic matter.
Highly appreciated a d respected on the French scene since the 1980s thanks to galleries faithful to his career including that of Helena Aziza in Paris , Hervé Rousseau has seen a growing international consideration with exhibitions in particular in Great Britain , Belgium , Germany , Japan and China where he resided with other French artists to contribute to the establishment of a museum of France ceramics.
