\n2024-2025, Hammered brass, H. 329 cm.
\nUnique piece.<\/p>\n
When shaping his works, Quentin Garel works with materials with an evident love for organic forms. By exploring their materiality while intentionally playing with our perceptions, he manipulates scale, sometimes pushing it to extremes or through hybridisation, thereby blurring our representation of what exists.<\/p>\n
Inspired by the Paris M\u00e9tro entrance designed by architect Hector Guimard, the great master of Art Nouveau, the artist created Porte Aquatique<\/em>, a monumental work standing 3.29 metres high. This fantastic \u201cbus shelter\u201d takes the form of a monumental octopus, its contours evoking Gothic vegetal motifs. Quentin Garel makes remarkable use of the sculptural qualities of hammered brass, inviting passengers to enter an imaginary and unknown world, such as that of Cargo City, a transit point towards global horizons.<\/p>\n In the work Porte Atlantique<\/em>, the artist crystallises both his concern and a certain sense of derision in the face of the fate of animals and humans within a world undergoing profound transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Loft Editions, 2024-2025, Hammered brass, H. 329 cm.
