Félix Pinquier's Silent Sculptures at Galerie Marine Veilleux and La Ferronnerie
Félix Pinquier, a sculptor and trumpeter from France, delves into the concept of sound through silence, creating what he refers to as 'sensory enigmas.' His exhibits can be seen at Galerie Marine Veilleux in Paris until October 27 and at Galerie La Ferronnerie until October 4. Utilizing materials such as wood, plaster, cement, lead, metal, and rubber, Pinquier employs modular techniques with casts of industrial items. His 2010 work 'Relâche' marked the conclusion of his education at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. Pieces like 'Dynamo' (2010) are capable of being recast in aluminum. His drawings, particularly the 'Aérolithes' series (2012), merge hyperrealistic shapes with schematic designs. The sculpture 'Station' (2013) suggests sound while remaining silent, showcasing his interest in synesthesia.
