Ceramic Circuit
The first art of fire that humanity was able to master , subtle alchemy of earth and fire, art ceramics, is the first expression of our understanding of the art of our secret links to the imagination and the supernatural.
An ancient tradition whose presence we have in common, as it has seeped into our lives, anonymous, popular, decorative, useful, associated with all uses of life.
Circuits Ceramic Arts Decoratifs in Paris, the French contemporary scene, a journey that much exposure, down from a conceptual approach too often in contemporary art to discover that, sometimes, we can no longer perceive the forces that inspire the experience of materials, the gesture, the long patience of the working and shaping of the material and techniques of his many transformations.
The mysteries of this art of earth and fire have always caught the imagination in that they show so familiarly, our expertise in the larger story of everyday life and, as recalled by Frédéric Bodet, "the report obsessive that man has always had with the ceramic or clay in the rough. "
Who does not remember the frightened and fascinated by what it cost to Bernard Palissy to pierce the secrets?
So everything is not so calm as it appears in the "treasure hunt" discovery of the works of young talent and more experienced we offer Frédéric Bodet.
Frédéric Bodet chose to trouble us, illustrating the famous words of Rene Char "What comes into the world to disturb nothing deserves neither respect nor patience."
Troubling indeed strange that this route that forces the patient's eyes when emerging here and there in the beautiful pageantry of scheduling large scenes style works "objects" that are strong in the expressivity of matter, echo powerful energy flows and concerns that run through our unstable world. This setting
counterpoint ceramic circuit in the course of the great tradition of decorative arts impressed by the intelligence sensitive adjustment to the decor works techniques and manner of expression so different ceramics, sculpture, enamelling shooting , process of cooking.
Frédéric Bodet plays perfectly the game of being revisited by the decor, "according to a partition amazing shots of lightning stealth in the muffled world of great scenes of style, playing sometimes subtle setting affinity materials, lines and nuances sometimes intrusive dramatization of radical works.
In contrast to this great scene, all evidence of their creative energy to another world time and "another world age." Tradition
light, refined or violent impact of a "furious crafts, works amazing, confusing, conceptual, and always animated by" forces "and a stimulating and exciting question of incredible potential of a material and its techniques taking shape. How these will evolve
course creators atypical at the crossroads of visual arts, design and craft practice, these formidable energies of imagination, of bias formalists sometimes agreed, "passage or vocation" asks Frederic Bodet, curator of the exhibition?
he keep the flame, they will join the young artists of the French stage by long solitary work of deepening and ownership of the material, this "passion" that we retouve with emotion at the "masters" who came Europe or the world (and still Japan) who put themselves at the same time, as part of this great event, "City of Ceramics in Sevres and in many galleries in Paris.
