{"id":86,"count":8,"description":"After training at the Ecole des Arts et M\u00e9tiers in\u00a0Geneva in cabinet making and carpentry, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Blanc\u00a0travelled to Australia where he discovered sculpture and\u00a0contemporary woodturning. A revelation that will\u00a0never leave him. Throughout his career, he has received\u00a0numerous distinctions and has exhibited regularly in\u00a0Switzerland, Europe and the United States. His pieces\u00a0have been acquired by various public and private institutions.\r\n\r\nThe illusion of materials fascinates him. Through his work, he initiates a reflection on the metamorphosis of sculptural forms\u00a0transposed into different materials and strives to\u00a0understand and formally appropriate the world of glass\u00a0and bronze. Through this journey beyond\u00a0material boundaries, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Blanc explores the world\u00a0of the trompe-l\u2019oeil, succeeding in bringing out in the\u00a0viewer what one might call a certain disorientation of the\u00a0senses. Wood becomes extremely light, whilst glass and bronze are\u00a0heavy and cold, with finishes that make them difficult to identify. Thus preconceptions are shattered, sight and the touch are no\u00a0longer reliable, and a new aesthetic experience is opened up to the viewer.\r\n\r\nThe creator is attracted by linear forms, geometry, architecture and light, and is inspired by his surroundings, whether nature or the urban environment. Societal and environmental issues are sometimes incorporated into some of his pieces, raising questions about the correlation between man and vegetation. But his research proves that he never forgets his wood, which is always enhanced under his hand.","link":"https:\/\/maisonparisienne.fr\/en\/artiste\/jerome-blanc\/","name":"J\u00e9r\u00f4me Blanc","slug":"jerome-blanc","taxonomy":"artiste","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
