BOUCHONS

Artiste/Artist : Nathalie Pitel Date création/Creation time : 2016 Matériaux/Materials : Steel Description : Fishing corks on the banks of the Loire... The current pushed them and they drifted ending their race planted there, in the mud. Presentation of the artist and her approach: Born in 1986, Nathalie Pitel studied at the Beaux-arts of Quimper. The artist has had numerous exhibitions and participated in several symposiums and residencies. Her works made in metal are situated between sculpture and installation. By working the material in an almost "archaeological" way, she seeks to bring back to life something living and organic, almost sacred. Description : FLOATS (painted and rusty steel) Floats by the Loire, carried away by currents. They probably drifted before ending their race in sludge. Presentation of the artist and his/her approach : Nathalie Pitel, born in 1985, studied at the Art School of Quimper. She displays her works in various exhibitions and takes part in many symposiums and artist residences. Her works are made of metal and lie between sculpture and settling. As she warps stuff in a nearly ?archeologic manner?, she tries to revive something organic and lively, almost sacred.
