Keep Going (2013) Sculpture by Cécile Devezeaux De Lavergne

Cécile Devezeaux de Lavergne is a contemporary French sculptor. Her artistic approach combines the concrete with the spiritual in the direct wood carving.

The artist penetrates with her gouges into the third dimension of the essence of wood in a spirit of openness, research and adventure. The direct carving makes it possible to clear a path in accordance with the material in order to reach the authenticity and the essence of his research. The direct carving of wood takes place in a kind of active meditative trance, creative energy, in rhythm with the organic growth of matter in order to extract the essence of the subject. From this path emerge the "first" forms reformulated in synergy with wood. This is how her sculptures are born.

Cécile Devezeaux de Lavergne was born in 1967, in Paris, where studied the practice of artistic wood sculpture at the École des Beaux-Arts. She has exhibited in France and won 2nd prize for contemporary art Société d’Entraide aux Métiers d’Art in 2003 in Paris. Today she sculpts in a workshop within the association Art Mature in Paris.
