Description
“I use natural and industrial materials such as stone and steel to build my sculptures. Emerging from one another, they ensure durability.”
Drawing from Nature, as it imposes itself and evolves in the face of humanity, the essence of his sculptures, Jean Brillant conceived the artwork Nomade as the story of a ‘journey’: The one traveled, carrying the memories of forged experiences, and the one yet to be traced.
This steel wheel, ready to wander, jealously encloses stones from the Atlas Mountains overlooking the sculpture park for which it was designed. It creates a dialogue between the materials while challenging their physical properties, transforming its aesthetics. In its “Art for All” version, these same paradoxes emerge. The structure, although made of metal, suggests lightness, making one doubt its actual mass, while its form, evoking the large paddle wheels beating the rivers, draws a surprising, motionless ballet where the stones seem to slide and clash. Faced with the illusion of life, Nature reclaims its place here; in wonder and emotion.
