About the Item
Lion is a wonderful contemporary wooden sculpture realized in 1968 by Anne and Patrick Poirier.
Signed on the back. Includes authenticity certificate.
The passage of time, the traces and scars of its passage, the fragility of human constructions and the power of the ruins, ancient as contemporary, are the source from which their creativity draws. This contemporary sculpture is a perfect example of their art.
Anne Poirier was born in Houllevigue, Marseille, in 1942; Patrick Poirier was born in Nantes in 1942. The two French brothers and artists, through their contemporary artworks and installations, deal with issues related to architecture, archeology, and mythology, reflecting on the themes of time, memory, and space. Both studied at the École Superieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and then won the Prix de Rome, which allowed them to stay for three years in the Italian capital at the French Academy of Villa Medici.
Their artistic research, heterogeneous in techniques and materials, from drawing to photography, from the cast to the collection of objects, from sculpture to video, aims at pondering on the theme of time and on its effects on memory.
The two artists have found fragments of ruins at some archaeological sites, both real and imaginary, and reproduced them with Japanese paper casts, photographs, archival research, giving life to a sort of parallel archeology. These works refer to the archaeological sites of Villa Medici (1971), Ostia Antica (1972), the Domus Aurea (1975-77), as well as to the fantastic cities inspired by Borges or mythological stories. They also created monumental works in marble and bronze, shattered statues or architectural elements (The death of Efialte, 1982; Giove e Encelado, 1982-83, Antibes, Musée Picasso), large photographs (still lifes of objects, words engraved on petals), complex installations like The shadow of Gradiva. A last excavation campaign through the collections of the Getty Center (Los Angeles, 1999-2000) further underlined the theme of fragility, of the ephemeral, and of violence. Recent works include Danger zone (2001); L'âme du voyageur endormi (2004); The memory factory (2006); The labyrinth of memory (2007), a mirror installation designed for the Filosofia festival and the atrium at the Palazzo dei Musei in Modena, Italy.

- Lost in reflexionBy Guillaume LachapelleLocated in Montreal, QuebecText by Terence Sharpe There is a moment in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris (1972) when the character Hari commits suicide by drinking liquid oxygen. As she is not actually a human, but an artificial hybrid product of the mysterious planet and the protagonists’ memories, she heals rapidly and is alive again minutes later. Her choice to take her own life is poignant, seemingly the action of a being becoming aware of its hopeless infinitude. Her realization that while the men will die on the space station or elsewhere, her existence is that of immortality, a deeply alienating notion that causes her to seek her own destruction. The Montreal artist Guillaume Lachapelle has one work that prompts a sense of eternal alienation that echoes Hari’s tragedy. The work greets the viewer with a empty doorway flanked by clinically white bookshelves...Category
