ART

This slab glass sculpture has been achieved by applying an ancient glass art technique. Shaped by a traditional hammer, it demonstrates the artist's intimate relationship with his materials.

The artwork consists of flat glass of different colors, each 20 mm thick and placed in a dark resin cuboid. Through his expertise and process, Christophe has created a multi-angled color effect that captures and refracts light in multiple ways. These sculpted glass layers may look static at first glance, but they evolve as they change color throughout the day based on light and elements in the background. In this way, the artwork is in an eternal movement, transcending the limitations of its framework. Even reflections on the ground or walls indicate that the work does not stay on the object itself. Christophe strives to maintain an energy balance between shadow and light, stagnation and movement, origin and evolution in his sculptures. In releasing the energy trapped in each piece of flat glass, his exquisite work also releases our imagination.

Interpreting slab glass colours into a sculptural form, he uses dimension and colour to touch the viewer's deepest emotions hoping to transport them in time and for all seasons.
