Sébastien Duchange
Sébastien Duchange observe et s’interroge sur la société où l’oeil est perpétuellement désillusionné par ce qu’il voit ou par ce qu’il suppose avoir vu. Une perception qui admet des pensées à la fois politique, sociale, écologique, dans un monde où s’entrechoquent le réel et l’imaginaire.
Il conçoit une réflexion ironique, narrative qui illustre tant le figuratif, l’allégorique que la caricature. Sa préoccupation est de montrer, tel un prétexte, la tension et les interrogations qui existent entre notre représentation universelle et un langage plastique parfois ludique, naïf ou même humaniste.
Démontrant un fort intérêt pour l’ambivalence entre la réalité et la fiction, il utilise l’accumulation, la contradiction et la juxtaposition de divers archétypes tels que satire, icônes, pictogrammes ou symboles de la culture du peuple qui habitent notre conscience.
Pour se faire, il utilise le verre et ses possibilités sculpturales. Ombres, lumières, transparences, opacités et fragilités en mouvement sont autant de qualités qui le guident dans son processus créatif.
Ses oeuvres, représentations visionnaires ou aveugles véhiculées par diverses métaphores ou concepts universels cherchent un équilibre esthétique, tant visuel et actuel qu'émotif et affectif.
As an artist, Sebastien Duchange observes and continuously questions the society of which he is part of. These actions necessitate a critical eye since much of what one interprets is done so in a perpetual state of disillusion. Consequently, Duchange is conscious of the political, social, or ecological perceptions within a world wherein the real and the imaginary co-exist.
His critical interpretations are conceived in an ironic manner, narrative in nature and which illustrate the figurative or the allegorical such as the caricature. His concern is to expose the tension and various interrogations that exist within one’s universal representation by employing visual language that is at times naïve or humanistic.
The artist exhibits a strong interest in the ambivalence that exists between reality and fiction, he uses notions such as accumulation, contradiction and juxtaposition of various canons found in satire, icons, pictograms or cultural symbols which are representative of those found within one’s consciousness.
In order to illustrate his expressions, Duchange uses glass and its endless means as a sculptural medium. He is guided in his creative endeavour by way of the many characteristics that glass embodies as a result of its movement, like shadow, light, transparency, opaqueness and fragility.
In the end, his pieces are not only visual representations of numerous metaphors or universal concepts but inadvertently prove to be an aesthetic equilibrium between the visual and the emotional.
