\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA true alchemy where metal becomes art, this passion materializes today through the works of two artists, Philippe Hiquily and C\u00e9sar, brought together in the new exhibition presented by Galerie LOFT <\/a>from October 17 to November 30. From iron to brass, from steel to bronze; collected, assembled, cast, welded, hammered, melted, patinated\u2026 more than just a material, in their hands, metal becomes a living substance to be tamed.\u00a0Birds<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Compressions<\/strong>,\u00a0Chickens<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Weathervanes<\/strong>,\u00a0Tightrope Walkers\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Cosmonauts<\/strong>, it takes on a thousand forms, each a sublimation of material and space.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Both had instinctively rejected the so-called \u201cclassical\u201d techniques and forms of sculpture, a sentiment C\u00e9sar and Hiquily had felt almost from the moment they entered the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where they shared seats in the Gimond studio. Moreover, in the harsh post-war period, \u201cnoble\u201d materials were too expensive for young artists. Thus, with delight, they preferred to dive into junkyards and industrial wastelands, transforming themselves into true \u201cscrap metal dealers\u201d of art. For both Hiquily, a genius of balances and improbable pairings, and C\u00e9sar, a true poet of the dynamic physical processes from compression to expansion, discarded scraps became a major source of inspiration, which they gladly shared.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
