Bruno Schiepan
Looking for balance
For him painting is magical and sensual. He wanted to make these extraordinary moments his everyday life.
Drawn to painting, he gave up everything and gave himself the means to live his life as an artist.
His work is precise and meticulous.
Bruno Schiepan's work on the furniture designed by Eero Saarinen was decisive for his artistic approach.
Not only did it give him a new understanding of the relationship between shapes and colours, but it also enabled him to find the material that would allow him to use the particular techniques employed to make the famous "Tulip" his own.
This 'PS choc' material has become the almost unique medium for his practice, offering very extensive characteristics and unexpected possibilities.
Firstly, it is deformable.
But it is also, in some of its variations, translucent, allowing new ways of playing with light, which has always been an essential element in Bruno Schiepan's work.
Bruno Schiepan focuses on the sensory and, through this quest for beauty, seeks to create a strong bond with the public.
This bond is forged through compositions, shapes and colours that have a way of absorbing us.
From then on, a triangular relationship is established between the artist, the work and the public, all three united by the same aspiration for harmony and balance.
PAINTING
Totems are designed to be hung or placed on the ground.
They offer 4 main characteristics: boxes with a thickness of 12 cm, backlit or not, deformed or not. Their homothetic format thus allowing infinite compositions
The translucent material which serves as a support for the painting allows light to pass through.
This involves adding to the natural light (or not) which illuminates the face of the work, another source coming from the back.
Whereas with stained glass it is the lead of the structure which marks the lines, here it is exactly the opposite: it is the paint which blocks the light coming from behind and it is the lines which illuminate. It is for this reason that the name anti-stained glass has become established for all backlit totems.
