About the Item

Artist Bio: To watch Sébastien PRESCHOUX work is to agree to oscillate between the serenity of a work that lets itself be built without haste and the tension of an infinitely precise gesture, graciously measured, drastically governed by a process of measurements and counting. The work stretches in time, punctuated by the repeated gesture of the handling of the rule and the compass. Without impatience, Sébastien PRESCHOUX unrolls the movement of drawing in time, let the material unfold in space. This way that one might think laborious to draw the line, to form the curve or to stretch the thread is felt, for the attentive spectator at the work being done, as a moment of appeasement. Repetition of delicate gestures, smoothly, the time of creation s' apparent here to a litany soft gestural gaze. One could find surprising the choice of this artist to return to fundamentals: the hand, the body, the physical commitment. To find it even more surprising to maintain the ambiguity of his practice by the motives he summons and which, in fact, could easily pass for digital images or photomontages. For the artist, it is to take the risk of being accused of being a maker by a lack of attention that the spectator would bring to the material or out-dated by the adept of the machine. could easily be viewed as digital images or photomontages.

In two dimensions, the drawings of Sébastien PRESCHOUX seem aminated vibrations, attributable perhaps to imperfections inherent in the fallible nature of the hand. However obvious, the quality of the supports, the furrows of the ink dug by the tubular points, the lines of punches left by the compass are the physical markers which create the motive, oh how far from the flatness of a digital printing. Three-dimensional, the installations diffract light and find in the natural setting of their implementation an obvious case. Photographed by Ludovic Le Couster, these pieces of son acquire an almost surreal aspect that tends to amalgamate the proofs to photomontages. The border between art and crafts is moving and homology with digital rendering too disturbing. A look without requirement will be misleading. The endurance of the work of creation poses the sine qua non condition of a benevolent slowness in the visit, so that real is the meeting of the eye and the object allowing what Sébastien PRESCHOUX calls "the reward of the curious".
