MICHAEL ELKAN ( 1942-2014) Sculpture
Est: €700 - €900
MICHAEL ELKAN ( 1942-2014) Sculpture Date de création : vers 2000 Design/Decorative Art Bois H 38 L 37 P 6,5 cm Sculpture in wood by American Craftsman Michael Elkan Avec Academia, Gilles Pernet dénudait les corps et venait les couvrir d’emprunts à la peinture classique. Cette démarche est une déformation du procédé photographique, déformation qu’il considère comme son champ d’action depuis plusieurs années. A l’image de sa série de caissons photographiques, boîtes en bois dans lesquelles sont disposées des photographies diapositives peintes, devant un éclairage. Objets de curiosité, camera obscura inversées, elles sont des clins d’oeil à la discipline, la photographie qui sort d’une boite et y retourne… Ou encore de son catalogue nostalgique, interprétation contemporaine de la nature morte hollandaise du XVIIe siècle. Cette série d’images dont les fonds sont peints, sont des natures mortes mêlant photographie et objets, composées avec des objets simples ramassés au gré de balades introspectives. Ainsi la photographie dialogue avec d’autres matériaux, elle est un support de création mais n’est pas nécessairement la finalité. A partir d‘Academia, il fait le choix de la tapisserie comme expression finale. Tissées sur métier Jacquard à Aubusson Felletin, elles apportent une dimension nouvelle et encore peu expérimentée à la photographie. Si sa production est prolifique et variée, elle est aussi clandestine et intime. A partir de 2014 , après une longue interruption, son travail réapparait grâce à la galerie Armel Soyer qui le présente dans sa galerie à Paris puis sur les salons internationaux: Design/Miami Basel, ArtParis ArtFair, PAD… Son travail est également représenté par Galerie Elle à Zurich. Gilles PERNET se lance en 2016 dans un nouveau travail intitulé SNOW qui témoigne de son affinité pour la montagne, son environnement à la fois doux et accidenté. WHITE DISORDER est la première oeuvre tissée de cette nouvelle série décrivant et déformant les paysages enneigés.
