Jean-Patrice Oulmont
Echappée 2

2017

About the Item

Nestled within the embrace of Jean-Patrice Oulmont's artistic vision is a captivating sculpture wrought from the timeless essence of elm wood. The elm, with its distinctive grain and warm hues, serves as the ideal canvas for Oulmont's creative expression. The artist's hands have deftly coaxed forth an ethereal dance of curves and lines, transforming the raw material into a harmonious convergence of form and nature. The sculpture exudes a tactile warmth, inviting viewers to trace their fingers along the smooth contours that seem to echo the gentle whispers of wind through ancient groves. As one approaches, the sculpture reveals its intricate details. Oulmont's deliberate strokes have carved out sinuous patterns that mimic the ebb and flow of life itself. Each knot and whorl tells a silent story, a narrative embedded in the very fibers of the wood. The interplay of light and shadow becomes a choreography on the elm's surface, casting a mesmerizing ballet that changes with the shifting sun. Whether bathed in the soft glow of dawn or the warm embrace of twilight, the sculpture adapts, a living entity in its own right. Oulmont's elm creation transcends the boundaries of mere craftsmanship, beckoning viewers to contemplate the inherent beauty of the natural world. In this sculpture, wood becomes a conduit for artistic expression, and dimensions become more than measurements; they are the parameters within which a masterpiece breathes and invites contemplation.

  • Barca Pez (Fish Boat) - wood sculpture by Chilean artist Pilar Ovalle
    By Pilar Ovalle
    Located in Glen Ellen, CA
    Chilean artist Pilar Ovalle's sculpture "Barca Pez," or "Fish Boat," is crafted with driftwood collected from lake shores in Chile combined with dimensional Alerce, a native Chilean wood. It can be suspended as shown or a custom bracket (not included) can be designed based on the site to make it into an exciting wall sculpture. In Ovalle’s imagination, boats embody animal forms, reinforcing the imaginative versus physical nature of the boat as a representation of travel. Ovalle says of her work, "As I work directly with Nature, combining wood already ‘worked’ by wind, water and time, with ‘elaborated’ - sawn - wood, I do this with a critical scope, dealing with ecology and progress, with emotion and poetry somehow set against rationality and technology, or setting ‘wisdom’ against mere information." This sculpture is suspended from two wires, but could also be wall hung with a custom bracket (not included). We would be happy to assist with the design of this custom bracket. Ovalle traveled to Southern Chile to study with boat builders and learn the traditional skills of the trade, which is evident in the graceful curve of the hulls she has built with traditional joinery and wood "stitches" and without the use of nails. Born in Santiago, Chile, Pilar Ovalle began her studies in 1989 at the Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo de Santiago. She studied with the Instituto through the early '90s, during which time she also won Third Prize at the XV Concurso de Arte Joven (Young Art Contest) and received grants from Fondart (National Fund for the Arts) for her projects “Sculpture with Shattered Wood” and “Curved Wood Sculpture...
