Sharkara Patti in Beaubourg: Les Désordres du Plaisirs, Donations Daniel Cordier
Sculpting these monoxyle pieces, undoubtedly physically demanding, represented a significant collective investment which accounts for their rarity.
From these majestic forms, gathered in vertical elan, emerges a relationship between empty and full, Yin and Yang, which reveals to us the fragility of life.
These majestic forms, gathered in vertical elan, were exhibited at Maison et Objets (2003 & 2004), at Hôtel des Princes in Aix-en-Provence (2006) and at Musée des Abattoirs de Toulouse, prefiguration of Daniel Cordier’s donation (2008).
In 2009, nine of the Sharkara Patti were officially included into the national collections in the framework of Daniel Cordier’s donation and exhibited at Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), Les Désordres du Plaisir, as well as at Musée des Abattoirs (Toulouse)
