Jacques Soulard is a contemporary French sculptor known for his passionate expression and unapologetic approach to art. His inclination towards frankness reveals a determined artist who embraces freedom in his creative endeavors.
Utilizing irregular modeling clay, ranging from mud to hardened residue, Soulard kneads and manipulates the material in large bins, allowing his gestures to unfold without premeditation or time constraints. As he collects the soft material onto the frame, the shaping process begins, guided by the interplay of light and perspective before the final choice of color is made.
The interpretation of Soulard's works becomes increasingly enigmatic the more one attempts to decipher them. Rather than presenting clear subjects, his art serves as a reflection of his relationship with his identity as an artist. For Soulard, mastery over the material is intertwined with mastering oneself, with the gesture of creation serving as an act of experimentation rather than one of strict execution or control. His spontaneous strokes and actions result in compositions that eschew obviousness in favor of raw appearance, devoid of any sense of censorship.
In his artistic practice, Soulard engages in a personal behavioral study, exploring his impulses and reactions before confronting them with the reality of his creations. Through this process, he navigates the complexities of his craft, embracing uncertainty and allowing his work to speak for itself, unfettered by conventional constraints.
