Chaos (2013) Skulptur von Didier Legros

kinetic artist since 2002, I've shipped my work to 30 countries in all continents.

My workshop is along the lake of Annecy, French Alps (30mn South of Geneva, 4 hours from Paris).
I’m inspired by Calder, Tinguely, Rhoads.
I’m self-taught, passionate, persistent and perfectionist.
My first motivation is the pleasure. Pleasure to play, pleasure to share!

My inspiration is to create a kinetic sculpture which fascinates, draws the viewer along its path by following the movement and then leaves one feeling wrong footed by the surprise and magic of the unexpected.

I want you to be mesmerized by the movement, losing all notion of what’s going on around you to the point that when the unexpected happens it’s stunning! It’s that point that gives me the opportunity to connect with you. I want you to feel that you are in my shoes, to feel or experience the same pleasure of seeing the ‘out of the ordinary happening ‘, a ball jumping, a pendulum suddenly swinging. I get you by the hypnotic movement and sometimes it happens that you are wrong footed – I like to play with that idea!

My work takes people into their own imaginary world but straps them to the real world through physical, tactile and sound sensations. So important to look at the piece through a child’s eyes to experiment with wonderment.

And most of the time, people are afraid of technology, my work in some ways is to de-mystify it. It’s simply an applied demonstration of natural law, with harmonious energetic flow of movement.»

I’m happy and proud to create this “Timeless” moment

“Whispering to the patient, confident child that we have not betrayed him…”
