Damien Hermellin'The Dancers', French Late Mid Century Gouache on Textured Paper1971
1971
About the Item
Late Mid Century French watercolour and Gouache on handmade paper of a pair of dancers by Damien Hermellin. Signed and dated bottom right. Presented in fine wood, plaster and gilt Louis XV frame.
Hermellin is well known for capturing the magic of dancers and the dance through the medium of paintings and sculpture. Here he has captured a pair of figures juxtaposed against each other in movement. He has managed to capture the athleticism and tension in the bodies through the simplest of line, use of colour, texture of paper and 'space'.....leaving the paper exposed. A wonderfully strong work.
Born in Fez in Morocco, Damien Hermellin spent his youth in Toulon before settling in Paris at the age of 20. Fascinated by classical and modern dance, he draws movement and makes portraits of dancers. He began sculpting in the 80s, creating choreographies and haute couture costumes for various shows and festivals. His talent has seduced Europe, his bronzes with their wonderful patina patina are exhibited at the Paris Opera School of Dance. He created the statue that adorns the tomb of the dancer Serge Peretti (1905-1997), the first man to receive the title of star of the Paris Opera, at Père Lachaise.
In 1981, at the request of Alain Marty, he visited the Montauban dance festival. "I fell in love with this city. François-Henri Soulié became my friend, he made me discover and love Montauban". Several years later, after 50 years of life in Paris, Damien Hermellin took the plunge and settled in Montauban, where he continued his artistic journey exhibiting frequently at the Résidence du Fort and at Nègrepelisse.
