Les danseurs évoluent sur un plateau de bois noir aux formes douces, avec reflets.
Ils sont créés en papier-bronze, à l'aide de matériaux de récupération, upcycling, sur-cyclage :
Le papier journal recyclé est encollé sur des tiges de métal de récupération, compressé et séché. Les volumes de la sculpture acquièrent dureté et solidité. La patine réalisée ensuite lui confère son aspect métallique, sa couleur changeante aux reflets de bronze. Sculptures en trompe-l'oeil !
La patine est ici bronze sur fond noir.
Le thème du mobile et le besoin de légèreté est à l’origine des créations de papier recyclé de Vanessa Renoux. En effet, le "papier-bronze" conduit à la liberté : de mouvement, d'assises, de mélange des matières (bois, métal, béton). Les sculptures s'affinent en formes longilignes ou épurées, inspirées de la statuaire étrusque, grec et des sculpteurs du XXème siècle.
Pièce unique par Vanessa Renoux
A regarder dans toutes les directions. Idéalement la faire tourner sur elle-même.
Commentaire de cette OEUVRE mise en avant sur ARTMAJEUR par Olimpia curator for #Artmajeur
"As made explicit in the title, Renoux's sculpture looked to the example of Matisse, referencing the French master's The Dance (1909-10), a work in which bodies are unbalanced and twisting to go along with the explication of a rotating dancing movement.
In contrast to the masterpiece in question, which was criticized at the time for its strong and aggressive colors, Renoux responds with an extensive use of gold, at any rate always flashy and impactful.
It would almost seem that the artist from Artmajeur wanted to generate a simplified composition of reality, in line with Matisse's main intent: to arrive at a figurative representation, where preference is given, rather than fidelity to objective data, to the harmonic integration between figures and the representation of rhythm."

She sees her sculptures as objects of contemplation. The lines are soft and voluptuous, the couples are fusional and loving. She explores the attitudes of dance and movement. The animal sculptures are feline, refined and stylized.
Vanessa Renoux creates mixed media sculptures, combining steel rods and composite materials. The textured surface, painted and patinated for a long time, takes on the appearance of bronze.
The artist invites you to travel in a poetic and aerial universe, where line and movement are masters of space. Her sculptures, of great finesse and rare elegance, explore the notions of fragility and transformation, inviting the public to find their own balance, soothed and serene. Vanessa Renoux's sculptures also trigger joy, the simple happiness of childhood in front of swings and moving sculptures. Just like the animals represented which are both sensual and mischievous. Her studies in Greece and her visit to the Chauvet Cave are triggering and inspiring elements.
A trip to New York gave her the desire to paint the city in watercolor. She likes to superimpose layers of paint, washes, to give relief and depth, mix colors, create blurs, reflect cloudy atmospheres... Vanessa Renoux also paints the landscapes that surround her (Annecy, its lake, the countryside) and the cities she visits. Recently, her work inspired by Japanese Prints has been very successful.
Vanessa Renoux was born in 1973, in Drôme, France.
