For L.F.D.A. 02.Dewar & Gicquel work together on creating sophisticated handmade sculptures, but which are aesthetically as perfect as the ready-made products made automatically and industrially. These crafted rejoinders are often fortunate combinations of highly heterogeneous cultural references, ranging from the world of sports, DIY or science fiction to that of the primitive arts. Borne by the materials which can be noble and precious or poor and heavy, these works succeed in transgressing any aesthetic categorizing. [V. Th.] Dewar & GicquelThe works of Dewar & Gicquel presented for LA FORCE DE L’ART 02 are a play between restraint and release, the invention of worlds where all overlaps; oversized sculptures face off with the most inadequate materials, their shapes or their installations contradicting their subject, with the admitted intention of giving rise to the unexpected. Daniel Dewar was born in 1976 in Forest of Dean (Great Britain). Dewar & Gicquel |
