ESPOLISTO (b. 1977). - Lot 19

ESPOLISTO (b. 1977). Conch. Sculpture in patinated fired clay. 26 x 12 cm. Note: When artistic expression becomes a necessity... Connecting with that which is beyond us, grasping the invisible, is what interests me most in artistic creation. The "Matrices" series questions the origin of Life; the "Disques Sacrés" interrogate the existence of a universal memory, while "Les Âmes" celebrates the bonds of affinity between beings, a kind of "family" on earth and in the afterlife. In her artistic research, ESPOLISTO explores different media, alternating surface and volume. In this way, painting and sculpture respond to and transfuse each other. Her canvases and sculptures are often halfway between figurative and abstract. She has permanent exhibitions in several galleries and takes part in various exhibitions in France and abroad: 6th Beijing Biennale (2015), 7th Qingdao International Art Fair (China, 2015), exhibition at the Maison des Arts, Yishu 8 dedicated to contemporary creation (China, 2015), exhibition at the Prince Gong Palace in Beijing, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Franco-Chinese friendships (2014) ... My work has been listed since November 2016 (Sale exhibition at Drouot-Richelieu).
