Ces concrétions, connues depuis le Moyen Age, ont attisé bien des convoitises.
Dénommées « Œufs de Dragon », il était de bon ton de leur inventer une origine lointaine, où le preux chevalier se serait rendu, au péril de sa vie, pour rapporter ce Grall à sa bien-aimée.
Aujourd’hui, une partie du voile est levée :
La fonte récente du permafrost sub-saharien a permis d’en découvrir 3 exemplaires fossilisés :
Météorites ?
Œufs d’une espèce disparue ?

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

Outsider Art

Invented by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1945, the idea is to create works with primitive graphics that take no academic reference into account. He will also advise to "draw like a child" and encourage self-taught artists.

Technic Sculpture

Sculpture is an artistic activity which consists of designing and producing shapes in volume, in relief, either in the round (statuary), in high relief, in low relief, by modeling, by direct carving, by welding or assembly. The term sculpture also designates the object resulting from this activity.

France

As far back as I can remember, I have always loved stones: big ones, small ones, white ones, brown ones, round ones, or full of rough ones. the ones that shine, or the ones that are black as night, and all[...]

Result: Pockets full of treasures, deformed, with holes, and an unfortunate tendency to walk with one's nose to the ground rather than to the horizon.
Little by little, I found myself came the desire to arrange them, glue them.

I like the idea of breaking to rebuild, re-arranging differently, of having to deal with the idea that I have to deal with it. I had in mind and the constraints inherent to materials and tools.

I started with classic materials (earthenware, Briare enamels) then I needed to confront other materials: smalt, glass and stone, to learn how to use other tools.

Working on the volume was another challenge, due to the technical difficulties involved.

I also likes to play with the height of the tesserae, to see the way in which the light can be captured by certain areas, to see the play of shadows.

Currently, I combine different materials to play on contrasts: gloss glass and matte stone, but also less usual mosaic materials: slate, fossils, driftwood, rust.

Shipping: Small and medium sizes are shipped in two days . Large format mosaics are heavy and therefore require custom packaging. Shipping time may be extended by up to approximately one week.
