Crystal Beads Taxidermy by Kohei Nawa
Crystal Beads Taxidermy by Kohei Nawa.
Japanese sculptor and assistant professor at Kyoto University of Art and Design, Kohei Nawa is known for his pixcell series, where countless transparent glass beads encase the artwork objects.
Strange.
« Most of the motifs, like stuffed animals are found through the internet. I search some auction sites and choose from the images which appear on a monitor as pixel. However, the stuffed animals which actually have been purchased and sent have real flesh feel and smell, and have a discrepancy with images on the monitor. I then transpose them to PixCell in turn. »

Corps & Ame de Benjamin Carbonne
Corps & Ame de Benjamin Carbonne, Artiste peintre, performer
Parti de l’étude purement plastique de l’Homme, Benjamin Carbonne peint l’histoire de ses personnages. Chacune de ses peintures porte en elle un héritage quil s’attache à révéler dans les visages, les corps, la chair. Ne rendant compte avec précision que d’un détail -un bras, un buste, un regard- qui porterait en lui les traces de ce qui l’a construit.
Ses récentes recherches sur la relation entre peinture et photographie l’ont mené vers l’étude du mouvement et sa dissociation. Prendre le corps dans l’instant de sa course et, par une seule représentation, voir la progression dans son ensemble. Chaque position marque un état de transition. Déposé sur la surface de la toile, mobile, en marche, le corps s’élance librement sur l’axe du temps et de l’espace. Par sa démarche, Benjamin Carbonne nous montre ce présent que l’on ne peut pas voir, il choisit des gestes, des instantanés qui suggèrent le mouvement de toute une vie.

Wood Art sculptures by Aron Demetz
Wood Art sculptures by Aron Demetz. Italian artist, born 1972. Europe exhibition Rome, Vienna, Milan or London.
Aron Demetz est un artiste italien né en 1972. Il créé des sculptures (bois d’érable et silicone) dans des poses tantôt sombres, tantôt mélancoliques, jouant sur des figures adolescentes ou enfantines.
Elles sentent l’odeur de résine ou de vernis, tente de symboliser les énergies biologiques et cosmiques qui animent tout être humain. A découvrir ses dernieres sculptures carbonisées.
///
For years, Aron Demetz (1972) has been focusing on the human figure, on contemporary characters which appear to be frozen in poses of the antique portraiture or paralysed in bizarre postures. This realistic gallery, which very often displays children or adolescents, is highly distinguished because of its formal composure while, at the same time, an atmosphere of melancholic meditation enshrouds the sculptures and makes them somehow classic and somehow stringently modern.
In the last two years the artist has dedicated himself to a different projection of the human figure moving from the reflection and the research on emotions to a form of expression which wants to return to its origins, to the most profound human roots. Next to wood (which, however, always remains the soul of all the works) Demetz started to experiment with different materials such as silver and aluminium foils which bestow an aura of original uniqueness on the works, a condition of ethereal pureness. To the spectator, they suggest a metamorphosis, the feeling of observing a being which is changing, which is ready to start a new life, to exploit new possibilities. Through associations, images and symbols these sculptures speak to collective conscience. Fully aware of their own physicality and their physical and spiritual changes, the sculptures most often evoke the constant and meticulous research of the human “position”. A position which, on the one hand, has to be understood in a symbolic way (‘man’ understood as a symbol of power and at the same time of humility), but on the other, it has to be seen in a real, physical way – a position in a space with whom mankind has to interact daily.
Recently, Aron Demetz presents a series of works which centres around the topic of cujidures – “seams”. In order to approach this new challenge, the artist chose resin as material to create his figures. The needed resin was collected with great patience from the wounds of the trees in the forests in Val Gardena. This instable material which is in constant change has intrinsic characteristics which are highly evocative. It has a strong scent, it can crystallise, melt, change colour (from an intense yellow to red or black), it can be very sticky or even conserve organic traces and small animals inside itself.
By putting resin on his faces and busts, Demetz lays a new skin which saturates, welds or stitches their wounds (which have to be understood as wounds of the soul, as thoughts and important feelings). It is a living skin which not only covers, but even enters the works of art. Once again these sculptures display a range of different, even opposite meanings. Next to stirring life, hope and renewal the sculptures also express something archaic and primitive, a being which visibly evokes a mummified figure and which immediately makes the spectator think of rot and death. Therefore, these works trigger off a reflection on the body as a biological and vital structure with its moods, its smells, its heat and its limits. The works spread a twine of visceral energies which enshrouds everyone who enters the meanders of this primitive cosmos.

WHAT_IS_HISTOplasmosis
L’histoplasmose est une maladie infectieuse du poumon causée par un champignon appelé Histoplasma capsulatum. Cette infection peut parfois s’étendre à d’autres parties du corps.
Elle est parfois appelée maladie des caves. Elle fut sans doute à l’origine du mythe de la malédiction des pyramides.
Histoplasma capsulatum prospère dans un milieu humide à des températures modérées. La fiente de poulet, de pigeon, d’étourneau, de merle et de chauve-souris entretient sa croissance. Les oiseaux ne s’infectent pas à cause de la température élevée de leur corps, mais ils transportent cet organisme dans leur plumage. Les chauves-souris, qui ont une température corporelle moins élevée, peuvent être infectées par cet organisme et l’éliminer dans leur fiente.
Histoplasma capsulatum se multiplie en produisant de petites spores appelées conidies qui ne mesurent que deux microns (micromètres) de diamètre. Ces spores sont assez fines pour s’infiltrer dans les poumons par la respiration et s’y loger. Elles peuvent alors déclencher une infection, qui passe parfois inaperçue parce que ses symptômes sont très bénins ou même inexistants.
Mais l’histoplasmose peut aussi produire une maladie grave qui ressemble à la tuberculose. [Source : Wikipedia]

Sculptures hyper-realiste macabre
Sculptures hyper-realiste macabre de Berlinde De Bruyckere – très éprouvantes.. (née en 1964)
La sculptrice flamande crée des sculptures et des dessins de corps humains souffrants qui ressemblent à s’y méprendre à la réalité. Elle mêle dans ses sculptures des motifs religieux, des images médiatiques et inscrit le motif chrétien de l’être humain souffrant dans l’époque contemporaine. La confrontation avec le corps à laquelle se livre l’artiste conduit à des questionnements sur l’éthique de notre société et sont le lieu d’interrogations fondamentales sur la nature de l’être humain.
