Bruno Guiard sculpts humble, fragile characters, serene, dreamy, touching and devoid of artifice. They wonder and are astonished, with a hint of mischief in their eyes or in the outline of a smile. Deliberately uncluttered and simplified to the extreme, his work expresses emotion or feeling, and rather than a realistic representation, it's really what drives the being that the artist manages to detach from the stone or wood.
Chantal Bineau seizes the moment and, with a precise stroke, blackens notebooks wherever she happens to be, in cafés, railway stations or public places. And in her studio, she conjures up characters and brings them to life with her brush, always in search of lightness and movement.
Together, these two artists speak of themselves and of us, of what brings us together and what distances us. About the life that animates and moves us.
