Commère 1 (2020) Sculpture by Sophie Marty H.

Sophie Marty H. is a contemporary French sculptor. She immerses herself within her uniquely crafted 4-dimensional realm, where the first three dimensions encompass shape, color, and material. Shape, akin to inspiration, manifests as a body, an attitude, a geometry, a narrative, an anecdote, or a simple idea. The infusion of color stems from affixed photographs, the ebony hues of waxed clay, pencils, brushes, and an array of artistic tools. The material realm is a tapestry of bronze, clay, earth, plaster, cement, enamel, wax, paper, fabric - with color cascading from sheets, and ink intertwining with hues. Her creative process flows unbound, traversing from sketches to collages, and through intricate cuttings. This evolution ultimately converges into the tangible forms of black clay and bronze, as ideas take on palpable existence.

Within her artistic expressions, illustrations morph into sculptures through mediums like paper or fabric, wherein the earthen essence narrates its tale - perhaps with a half-smile gracing its fleshy lips. A common thread is the omnipresent sentiment, breathing life into each subject. Bridging the realms of humor and tenderness, emotion stands as the elusive 4th dimension within Sophie's creations. If one must categorize her work, it could be fittingly placed within the realm of expressionism.
