Mains tendues aux Cieux (2015) Sculpture by Stéphane Desmaris

Born on February 6, 1980, in Mâcon (71), Stéphane Desmaris has evolved since childhood as a “multi-undisciplined self-taught artist”. During his university course in Psychology and within the School of the Freudian Cause, he first experimented, with figurative painting, his creative universe through canvases and drawings where the symbols of his history intertwine, as well as the knots and cogs of his intimacy.
At the same time, he devotes himself to music and composes a whole repertoire of songs where again, he uses his internal mechanics to identify with words and notes (Démodé? Not project!), what is in his reality...
From 2010, he developed a project of surrealist sculpture in vine stocks (Cippus series). Inspired by the forms that Nature has given them, he shows us an imaginary world where wood becomes a body, even part of a body, posing the eminently human question of the fantasy body.
Since the spring of 2013, Stéphane Desmaris has devoted himself entirely to his various projects, and embarked on the production of his first album, Démodé? Not!
After two years of joint development of plastic and musical projects, dividing his time between exhibitions and concerts, a chosen turn is emerging, and it is the sculpture project that has benefited from it since the end of 2015, with the creation of the first monumental sculptures. in wood, and the discovery of working the land. Several new series are then born: first of all the Nodulus series (in enamelled earthenware), composed of abstract sculptures where work on form and emptiness predominates, then follows the Botrus series (monumentals in wood and enamelled earthenware) cluster themed.
The Sinus series, in the form of a totem or wall sculpture, is inspired by the attributes of femininity/fertility, treated both in a primitive and contemporary way. Primordial object of desire unveiled by psychoanalytic theories, always at the heart of the human psyche.
The first sculptures in the Geometria series appear at the end of 2016, and represent improbable architectures or even imperfect polyhedra, inspired by Plato's theory of solids.
The Steel Nodulus are a logical and monumental variation of the inaugural Nodulus series, abstract architectures made of "little knots", structures full of emptiness which tend to rise, undulating like small trees in the wind in parks & ; gardens.
