REGARDS CROISES Sculptures Terre/Ciment/Bronze - Peintures - Encres de chine
There are four of them: Patricia DELORME, Jean-Yves PETIT, Michelle LATUNE and Patrick GACHET. Friends and professional artists, they work and live near Valence in the Drôme. They regularly exhibit in France and abroad, alone or together.
Patricia DELORME, paints imaginary landscapes in which we can see both something immensely familiar and at the same time a distant unknown. Landscapes between figuration and abstraction, between beauty and emotion. When you immerse yourself in one of her works, you find both the contagious radiance of this artist and the strange, tortuous and sublime paths that the soul can take. www.delorme-artist.com or +33 (0)6 26 96 32 21
Jean-Yves PETIT is a former diver and intensive care doctor. A self-taught sculptor, he draws his main inspiration from his memories of diving in tropical seas to recreate a dreamlike, metamorphosed underwater world, populated by slender, slender creatures. His creations are made of reinforced cement tinted with natural ochres on a metal frame. Some of the sculptures are printed in bronze with a blue patina. www.jypsculpture.com or +33 (0)6 12 73 86 56
Michelle Latune, sculptor, first encountered clay almost thirty years ago, and it was a revelation. Since then, she has been consumed by the jubilation of creating reduced-scale characters, giving them a snapshot of life, surprising them with a movement or an expression, and letting them imagine a before and after, a context, a story. Her inspiration is eclectic, her technique meticulous. His works are in stoneware or bronze. https://michellelatune.fr/ +33 (0)6 50 91 17 57
Patrick GACHET draws with Indian ink on paper. Born in Madagascar and strongly influenced by the country where he was brought up, he draws trees that link us to our origins. In his drawings, he tries to give back to the trees all the energy they draw from the earth through their roots to lift it up through their vessels to the sky, the energy that flows through their veins, through the breaks in the lines and the networks of sap. www.patrickgachet6.com or +33 (0)6 80 40 44 67
