Les types de forage des tubes sont variés, mais ce qui intéresse l’artiste ingénieur, c’est le bétonnage des pieux, car il fait intervenir des notions particulièrement astucieuses, d’équivalence de densité entre les terres, souvent sous forme de boue, la bentonite ( coulis d’argile ) qui empêche les terres de s’effondrer, et le béton ferraillé, proprement dit, qui concrétise la phase finale de réalisation de la fondation profonde.
Avec cette sculpture, Philippe Fares nous livre une œuvre brute, inspirée du métier des foreurs.
C’est par gravité que l’artiste a réalisé sa sculpture, l’injection est faite en montant le long du tube, ainsi le coulis de ciment époxydique retombe par débordement le long de la surface du cylindre, de façon similaire à de la lave volcanique, pour se figer brusquement.
Le traitement de surface est obtenu par oxydation ( ferrique ).
Hormis l’aspect technique, cette pièce est un totem des temps modernes.
Cette sculpture verticale est un point singulier, elle représente la partie cachée et enterrée des grandes constructions architecturales du monde entier.

Philippe Fares is a contemporary French artist, whose journey has been profoundly shaped by diverse cultures and the interplay of art and science. His unique perspective, honed by a childhood spent in sub-Saharan Africa, is a testament to his early exposure to the world of art, particularly the influence of Primitive Arts. Returning to France at the age of 16, Philippe embarked on a path that allowed him to cultivate his understanding of Western Arts while pursuing scientific studies.
Philippe Fares' artistic works are meticulously constructed using scientific methods and meticulous planning. His creations often feature a recurring tiling pattern, a meticulously balanced interplay with chance. This synthesis of meticulous design and the unpredictability of chance lends his works a dynamic and intriguing quality.
One of the defining features of Philippe's sculptures is his incorporation of light, whether through LED or Halogen sources. This infusion of light imbues each piece with a unique chromatic field, magnifying the contrast of the leading lines within the sculpture. Philippe understands that, in his art, what truly matters is the relationship between colors, dimensions, and positions. He views the proportion between the horizontal, the vertical, and the depth as a reflection of the three dimensions that envelop us, as well as the opposing forces that often govern life and space—the interplay between existence and non-existence, abundance and scarcity.
