BENOÎT CONVERS
It is enough to observe Benoît Convers to understand that music has accomplished man, transmitting to him another way of seeing the world. He sees creation as the mother of all questions, as the bearer of doubts that will increase the final product, as a vector of sensibilities, whether they are his own or those of others. Benoît Convers sets himself constraints, solves problems, exhausts existing forms in order to create new ones and above all considers design, the conception of objects and their manufacture, as a deeply empathetic discipline. For isn't the creation of a painting, a text, a song or an object above all a gesture to someone?"What I like is the moment when ideas come together to form a coherent whole," he says.
RACHEL CONVERS
A member of the founding trio of Ibride, along with Benoit Convers and Carine Jannin, graphic designer and designer of the mythical Ibride portraits, Rachel Convers seeks supreme beauty, knowing without a doubt that it is unattainable, a quest for perfection that leads her to constantly explore. Whether through colour or drawing, she strives to find the spark, the wisp of light, that tiny little thing that will literally animate the image and then the object.
Her design work is about intention, attention, and intuition, and is above all about the desire to signify life. Rachel Convers reinterprets, restores and reinvents all the forms of a common cultural heritage in order to invite the eye to turn towards what comes before: nature, the essence that constitutes us.
DETAILS
A WORK SHAPED BY DUALITIES
From the outset, the viewer is struck by the subtle duality between the frozen immobility of the sculpture and the captured vitality, where emotion is expressed through an ephemeral, fleeting state. The temporalities of stone and emotion are in opposition, creating a dichotomy between the permanent and the ephemeral.
APHRODITE NOSTALGIE
Aphrodite is presented in a limited series of Collectors' portraits. Each piece bears witness to a metamorphosis, offering an emotional vision of this timeless icon. Rachel Convers' Les états d'âmes d'Aphrodite is divided into three sections: Nostalgia, Renaissance and Reverie. This collection, unveiled in October 2023, heralds the start of an emotional cycle.
A SCULPTURAL METAMORPHOSIS
-The starting point for each painting is the sculpture of Aphrodite. It stands like an imposing stele, taking on a monumental dimension, like the divinities themselves. -The raw materiality of the stone shines through, with its chiselling marks and carvings bearing witness to a journey through the centuries. The eroded chin and altered nose bear witness to the inexorable effects of time.
