Avec cette œuvre, Philippe Fares rend hommage à Maurits Cornelis ESCHER, dont les travaux, inspirés des mathématiques, ont essentiellement porté sur des explorations de l’infini ainsi que de nombreuses constructions impossibles, gravées dans le plan.

Ce tube formant un nœud se referme sur lui-même, il représente l’enlacement en trois boucles, d’un même tube, figé par un remplissage de ciment époxydique, dont les extrémités sont connectées, une fois que les trois spires ont été formées.

Cette sculpture est un objet impossible qui fait référence à une topologie complexe.

Cette pièce est unique, dans la série des six nœuds, le parement de surface préconisé par l’artiste est une peinture à haute résistance qui renforce d’autant plus l’enveloppe de l’objet.
C’est la teinte en rose dragée qui singularise la sculpture, elle contraste fortement avec la couleur noire de jais du socle.
La finition de l’extérieur du noeud reste brute par endroits, elle correspond aux points d’injection du béton, c’est un choix délibéré qu’à fait l’artiste.

Cette pièce fait immanquablement penser au ruban de MÖBIUS, c’est une surface fermée, qui n’a pas d’extrémité mais qui n’est pas réglée.

L’objet mathématique est fascinant car son mystère n’est pas facile à percer.

L’artiste se joue de cette énigme pour interroger l’imaginaire de l’observateur.

Avec cette œuvre, Philippe Fares nous livre un modèle totalement abstrait, issu de la théorie des nœuds, faisant partie d’une branche de la Topologie.

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.
