Raphaël de Villers, Andrighetto & Miot
29.11.2021 - 10.12.2021
The initial idea of the project consists in combining elements of blown glass with stones. The plastic artist Raphaël de Villers creates in collaboration with the glassblowers Jean-Charles Miot and Laetitia Andrighetto glass sculptures by taking advantage of the ornamental and decorative qualities of this material as well as its chromatic qualities allowing to produce pieces with incredible colors. From images, they sculpt figures and shapes, which rest on stone plinths, some of which suggest a bust.
