The work of Jérôme Pereira questions the balance and the harmony. His sculpture relate this state of grace between tension and fall. Sylvia Eustache Rools is graduated in textile arts. Her work reveals a taste pronounced for the composition, the hangdling of textures and colors. The desire to mix their universes and materials was imperative. For him, the wood sculptured, worked in games of masses and balance. For her, colors and textures, in an approach which became a « textile geology » . By their creations, they try to go beyond the complementarity. In this zone where takes place the merger. In the manner of the geologic strata which meet to form a single element. AWARÉ is the melting pot which allows us to translate specifically our interest for the ground material, the rock and their alchemy. A creation of AWARÉ requires techniques and know-how gathered to end in a formal obvious fact. The organic and ground matter of the one, encourages the chromatic deployment of the other one. To achieve that, several stages: - Wood carving. - Silk painting. - Shaping and weld of the wire. - Assembly by manual sewing. Why Awaré? In Japan, Mono No Aware, means literally, "the beauty of the moving intimacy of things, a form of empathy bound to the feeling of their impermanence." TO BE AWARE, it is to be on the alert, informed, attentive, awake. Stakeholder within the alive. States which we look for throught our artistic practices. Jérôme Pereira work questions balance, inspired by nature forces. His sculptures relate the state of grace between tension and fall. Jérôme Pereira creates lighting sculptures with a rough and gracious presence. Coming from a scientific background, his sculptures, as equations, propose a familiar vocabulary (bows, pulleys, rings, cubes, counterweights) opening to an unknown factor. A catalog of shapes with a surrealist consonance leading to a playful combination of tension and equilibrium.
