Cette sculpture représente un crâne humanoïde dont la face se transforme en masque à gaz.
Une métaphore des probables conséquences à venir du dérèglement climatique, symbolisé par cette métamorphose.
Œuvre réalisée par assemblage de differents éléments, elle est principalement constituée d'une pâte (sorte de résine épaisse) de ma fabrication, dans laquelle j'ai ajouté des bandes de tissus, de la fillasse, après l'avoir posée sur une structure en grillage et fils de fer.
Sculpture integrating into the series "Vestige du Futur Antérieur". Vestiges of a vanished or future civilization? I leave the question open. This sculpture represents a humanoid skull whose face turns into a gas mask. A metaphor for the probable future consequences of climate change, symbolized by this metamorphosis. Work made by assembling different elements, it is mainly made up of a paste (kind of thick resin) of my manufacture, in which I added strips of fabric, filling, after having placed it on a structure in fence and iron wires.

Claude Duvauchelle is a contemporary French artist whose work has been centered on the human body for the past two decades. This constant fascination serves as a rich source of inspiration, enabling him to express the deep emotions, anxieties, and hopes of modern humanity. Through his art, Duvauchelle explores the alienation and struggles brought on by the violence of modern civilization, portraying humanity as regressing to a primal state, enslaved by its most destructive instincts.
Duvauchelle’s creative process is marked by a continuous evolution of techniques and themes, which allows him to avoid repetition and keep his work fresh. His early influences include the Quattrocento painters, particularly Mantegna’s "Dead Christ," where he was drawn to the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, martyrdom, and crucifixions. Géricault’s romanticism and the tragic body also left a significant imprint on his artistic journey, adding layers of sublimation to his tragic depictions.
In his recent works, Duvauchelle translates these classical inspirations into a modern context. He aims to illustrate the downfall of today’s world, capturing the alienation and evil rooted in both societal and individual violence. His allegorical representations speak to the universal human condition, reflecting the programmed decay of contemporary civilization.
