Jean-Marie Appriou<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\n

N\u00e9 en 1986 \u00e0 Brest, France
Vit et travaille \u00e0 Paris, France<\/p>\n

C\u2019est avec une remarquable technicit\u00e9 que Jean\u2011Marie Appriou s\u2019empare des mat\u00e9riaux de la sculpture \u2013\u00a0aluminium, bronze, verre, argile, cire\u00a0\u2013 pour projeter des mondes fantastiques peupl\u00e9s de figures humaines, animales ou v\u00e9g\u00e9tales. Ses \u0153uvres souvent imposantes maintiennent n\u00e9anmoins, par leur \u00e9chelle savamment construite, un rapport familier avec le spectateur, comme pour mieux dicter leur inqui\u00e9tante \u00e9tranget\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Son univers plastique, profond\u00e9ment onirique, est empreint de pr\u00e9occupations telluriques, trait\u00e9es sous une perspective originale : celle du l\u00e9gendaire. Chevaux, serpents, criquets, requins ou hippocampes composent un bestiaire charg\u00e9 d\u2019une symbolique puissante. Ils \u00e9voluent dans un domaine de r\u00eaves, une nature merveilleuse qui devient un th\u00e9\u00e2tre de personnages saisissants. Semeurs, cueilleurs, p\u00eacheuses en apn\u00e9e ou apiculteurs, tous incarnent des figures du passage et de la transformation. La transition entre les \u00e9l\u00e9ments \u2013\u00a0de\u00a0l\u2019aquatique \u00e0 l\u2019a\u00e9rien, du souterrain au terrestre\u00a0\u2013 est l\u2019une des th\u00e9matiques centrales du travail de l\u2019artiste.<\/p>\n

Des \u00e2ges archa\u00efques aux civilisations futuristes, entre dinosaures et enfants astronautes, Jean-Marie Appriou livre des visions sur le fil du psych\u00e9d\u00e9lisme, malaxe culture pop et mythologies, de l\u2019Antiquit\u00e9 grecque ou \u00e9gyptienne \u00e0 la science-fiction. Sa sculpture conjugue l\u2019all\u00e9gorique et le sensuel ; l\u2019artiste se pla\u00eet \u00e0 laisser visible l\u2019empreinte de ses doigts sur la mati\u00e8re. Il tisse un r\u00e9cit paradoxal qui r\u00e9unit le pass\u00e9 et le futur, l\u2019id\u00e9el et le sensible, en une s\u00e9rie d\u2019extases hallucinatoires.<\/p>\n

Ses \u0153uvres ont \u00e9t\u00e9 expos\u00e9es \u00e0 la Fondation Louis Vuitton, au Palais de Tokyo, \u00e0 la Fondation Lafayette Anticipations, \u00e0 la Fondation Vincent van Gogh, au Mus\u00e9e des abattoirs, au Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, au Consortium Museum, \u00e0 la Villa M\u00e9dicis et \u00e0 la Biennale de Lyon. Ses \u0153uvres ont fait l\u2019objet d\u2019expositions personnelles au sein des galeries Perrotin, Shanghai ; Jan Kaps, Cologne ; Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Zurich et New York ; Kaikai Kiki, Tokyo ; C L E A R I N G, New York, Bruxelles et Los Angeles ainsi que MASSIMODECARLO, Londres.<\/p>\n

Lives and works in Paris, France<\/em><\/p>\n

Jean-Marie Appriou uses sculpture materials – aluminium, bronze, glass, clay and wax – with remarkable technical skill to project fantastic worlds populated by human, animal and plant figures. His often imposing works nevertheless maintain a familiar relationship with the viewer, thanks to their skilfully constructed scale, as if to better dictate their disquieting strangeness.<\/em><\/p>\n

His deeply dreamlike visual universe is imbued with telluric concerns, treated from an original perspective: that of the legendary. Horses, snakes, locusts, sharks and seahorses make up a bestiary charged with powerful symbolism. They evolve in a realm of dreams, a marvellous nature that becomes a stage for striking characters. Sowers, gatherers, free-diving fisherwomen or beekeepers, they all embody figures of passage and transformation. The transition between the elements – from aquatic to aerial, from subterranean to terrestrial – is one of the central themes of the artist’s work.<\/em><\/p>\n

From archaic ages to futuristic civilisations, from dinosaurs to child astronauts, Jean-Marie Appriou delivers visions on the edge of psychedelia, mixing pop culture and mythologies, from Greek and Egyptian antiquity to science fiction. His sculpture combines the allegorical and the sensual; the artist likes to leave visible the imprint of his fingers on the material. He weaves a paradoxical narrative that brings together the past and the future, the ideal and the sensible, in a series of hallucinatory ecstasies.<\/em><\/p>\n

His work has been exhibited at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the Palais de Tokyo, the Fondation Lafayette Anticipations, the Fondation Vincent van Gogh, the Mus\u00e9e des abattoirs, the Mus\u00e9e d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Consortium Museum, the Villa M\u00e9dicis and the Lyon Biennale. His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the following galleries: Perrotin, Shanghai; Jan Kaps, Cologne; Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Zurich and New York; Kaikai Kiki, Tokyo; C\u00a0L\u00a0E\u00a0A\u00a0R\u00a0I\u00a0N\u00a0G,, New York, Brussels and Los Angeles; and MASSIMODECARLO, London.<\/em><\/p>\n
