la nature et la figure hexagonale. Créée spécialement pour l’exposition au POPA,
l’installation lui permet de renouer avec l’argile, un matériau qu’il connaît bien. Ici,
l’artiste s’impose un travail artisanal long et répétitif. En effet, l’œuvre comprend deux
parties : sept miroirs posés sur le sol évoquent un plan d’eau où flottent 350 bouquets en
céramique tous réalisés par l’artiste. Le chou romanesco, dont la forme l’intéresse depuis
longtemps, coudoie des coquillages, des cactus nains et diverses plantes grasses. Au
total, le plasticien a moulé sept bouquets différents.
En refusant de peindre les céramiques, Christophe Bregnard adresse un discret hommage
à Blossom, le parterre de fleurs en céramique blanche d’Ai Weiwei, installation que
l’artiste a découverte à Lausanne en 2017.
Dead Sea est la première œuvre ouvertement engagée du sculpteur ajoulot puisqu’elle
évoque la disparition de la Grande Barrière de corail, qui se traduit par l’apparition de la
couleur blanche. Ces mini-jardinières sans couleur et sans éclat rappellent également les
cendres qui recouvrent le sol après une éruption volcanique, comme celle de l’Eyjafjöll
en 2010. Elles représentent aussi, précise l’artiste, « l’impact de l’homme sur la mer. Celuici est capable de vider la mer dans le seul but économique. Je pense, par exemple, à la
Mer d’Aral. L’être humain est en train de réduire ce lac salé d’Asie centrale à un désert.
Cette inquiétante transition est symbolisée par les coquillages qui jouxtent les cactu
Christophe Bregnard is a contemporary Swiss artist. Attracted as much by the recovery of objects (wheel rims, steam baskets, wedding globes) as by contemporary materials (resin, lacquer, polystyrene), the artist is primarily interested in the questions raised by the work. Some of his sculptures evoke plausible three-dimensional objects such as a wine barrel, or an old bulb, while others do not use any known vocabulary.
Nature plays an essential role in Bregnard approach. It offers him a meditative setting from which he draws his inspiration and sometimes even the raw material of his creations (peacock feathers, blue thistles, wood mushrooms). Cut, sanded, caressed, the slats of wood submit to the artist's requirements and become, under his hands, the imprint left by a flower, a giant halo or a desert.
Christophe Bregnard has exhibited all across Europe and won the Lachat Prize for Visual Arts in 2018. Numerous key galleries and museums such as Laurent Marthaler Contemporary have featured Christophe Bregnard's work in the past.
