CATHARSIS Original burnt maple and pine wood sculpture
-
Description
Original sculpture by Gibus in burnt maple and pine wood.
Gibus creates and produces his works in his studio in the middle of the vineyards of Bordeaux from raw pieces of wood found around his home.
Inspiration: If there is one thing I am looking for without really knowing where to find it, it is the only truth that is worthwhile: the one that one owes to oneself. My work questions our human condition, our questions and the courage to face them. There seems to me to be no other possible path than that of sincerity in the first degree, you have to be essential, obvious, and my pieces are stripped bare to the point of translating a harsh and unvarnished existential truth. I leave only what is necessary, I conceptualize up to the question without a word too many. But if the content is heavy, the form is light, raw, frank and straightforward. So if life takes away the superficial to appear raw and cruel, I remove wood chips to let the material express its truth. The mistakes are written there, the strokes of the blade, those that shape us. I remove what is surplus until our eyes can no longer ignore the question asked. And the play is over, I don’t have an answer. To my great surprise, it then appears to me that naked truth is poetry.
