Collection: MATTHIEU GICQUEL

MATTHIEU GICQUEL EXPLORES GLASS ART AS A TRIBUTE TO THE PRESENT MOMENT, GUIDED BY THE PRINCIPLES OF WABI-SABI AND YÛGEN. INSPIRED BY TANIZAKI, HE SEEKS TO REVEAL WHAT ESCAPES THE EYE AND GIVE SHAPE TO THE INVISIBLE.

LIGHT PASSES THROUGH THE GLASS, A BUBBLE RISES, A REFLECTION GLIDES: EACH CREATION BECOMES A PLACE OF SILENCE AND CONTEMPLATION. THE BANAL BECOMES SUBLIME, SHADOW BRINGS FORTH THE SACRED. THROUGH EXTREME FORMAL SIMPLICITY, HE INVITES US TO SLOW DOWN AND SEE DIFFERENTLY.

GLASS, A FRAGILE AND TRANSPARENT MATERIAL, BECOMES A VEHICLE FOR INTROSPECTION. AT THE CROSSROADS OF THE EVERYDAY AND THE SPIRITUAL, HIS PIECES ARE SUSPENDED MOMENTS, SPACES OF INNER RESONANCE.

FOR HIM, A WORK DOES NOT IMPOSE ANYTHING: IT WHISPERS, WAITS, AND CALLS THE VIEWER TO ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE MOVED.
