The artist has employed a distinctive technique, likely involving layered resin or glass, to achieve this intriguing, tactile surface texture. This surreal, fantastical piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of the subconscious and the boundaries between the natural and the imagined. ...
Jean-Marie Appriou imagines speculative futures and utopian worlds by constructing vast and imposing yet intricate and technically impressive sculptures from an array of materials including bronze, glass, aluminium, wax and clay. As if they are figments plucked from fantastical dreams, the works and worlds Appriou conjurs include beings loaded with symbolism. From snakes and huge horse heads to seahorses and sharks, Appriou’s cast of protagonists is mystical and mythical. He combines these beings with representations of Japanese Ama divers, beekeepers and crop gatherers, who symbolise discovery, germination and new life. By summoning future visions with creatures taken from myth and legend, Appriou combines past, future and imagined, weaving new narratives that transcend time, truth and terrain.
