Eric Beauplace
French Contemporary Sculpture by Eric Beauplace - Souffle d'Été

2017

About the Item

Acrylic glass (mirror, iridescent), metal tube & acrylic paint on panel Eric Beauplace is a French contemporary plastic artist born in 1962 who lives & works in Saint Germain-en-Laye, France. The term ‘plastic artist’ is not used here in the traditional sense. Eric Beauplace manipulates materials, creates colors and volumes, and composes, but the tools he uses are not those of a sculptor or a painter. Nothing is fixed in the works he produces; motion is constant. His works are intimately linked to the surrounding light, the movements of the viewer and of every eye that settles on them. Eric Beauplace’s wall sculptures use materials to receive light and pass it on to each other, creating an intense optical experience. The transparencies and reflections, sparkles, diffractions, and other phenomena that they produce open up many possible avenues for interpretation. Colours are born, blend and break free, patterns repeat and give rhythm to the whole. Unpredictability prolongs the work indefinitely, in a harmony of sculptural contingencies meticulously set up by the artist. As a viewer himself of what he creates, Eric Beauplace is a researcher, he experiments, observes, pursues to the end and repeats his creative processes. His work is a constant experiment that he invites the viewer to participate in. More than just conveying a message, the artist aims to arouse a sense of escape, perhaps even meditation. The artist has created a path with the viewer at the centre, walking through this changing environment, never able to completely discern what it is. A dimensional, chromatic intimacy is forged, a reflection of the visible and its slow changes. This unique, fluid and highly visual work by Eric Beauplace is experienced through contemplation and, at the risk of losing ourselves in it, enriches us with a new spirituality.

    By Heidi Spector
    Located in Montreal, Quebec
    Heidi Spector is a geometric artist best known for her exploration of minimalism as studied through lines, repetition, color and reflection. Spector’s work has been the subject of numerous solo and group shows including exhibitions in Montreal, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and New York. Her work is included in several corporate, private and museum collections worldwide. Her paintings and sculptural cubes composed of acrylic painted as bands of color on Russian birch, are topped with resin, creating a surface where candy-like colors pulse and dance together, alluding to the impact of popular music on her work. Referred to by the artist as “geometric minimalism,” Spector purposefully avoids injecting specific emotional content to her paintings, instead opting for bold color choices that quickly establish an upbeat and lively mood. Her shining repetitive pattern of vertical or horizontal stripes project a natural sense of optimism and joy informed by the techno beats and self-absorption of club life. Spector’s paintings are influenced by popular music, taking on titles based on song lyrics by artists as varied as Duke Ellington, Roxy Music...
