Description
Artwork
“Sébastien Kito is an artist of withdrawal. Of lines too, because the refined sculpture tends to become a simple vertical or curved line. Rather curved, in fact, because the world he draws is of a cosmic nature. The earth is round, space is curved, the tree is elliptical.”
Claude Mollard
Mobile, articulated, and hollowed sculptures, often bearing anthropomorphic or animalistic reminiscences, Sébastien Kito’s works have a special relationship with space, closely related to the Japanese concept of “ma,” which refers to the subjective variations of the void connecting two separate elements. The artist materializes, from simple traces and lines, cut-out forms that articulate in plays of colors and transparencies to produce new refined volumes. In this way, he suggests complex relationships or interactions between the sculptures and the space, between fullness and emptiness.
The work “Merle” created for the Art For All Prestige collection perfectly embodies this reflection. A true symbol of knowledge and intuition, but also a bearer of renewal, this noble bird now engages in a new dialogue between the artist and the collector.
