Begun in autumn 2023, this new series ‘Les Coupoles’, included in the ‘Espaces Baroques’ cycle, comprises some 150 pieces, drawings and sculptures in various predetermined formats ranging from 30 to 120 cm in diameter. With the exception of the fifty or so small-format drawings (18x28cm), paper pasted on wood and metal frames, which will be shown at Lyon Art Paper (9/13 October 2024), all the other works use the ‘shaped canvas’ presentation. This choice was made as the best visual option given by the most rounded form of the ‘Espaces baroques’ series begun in 2020. The stretcher reinforces this notion of the autonomy of the work, which is emancipated by its unique form. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
