Sylvie Mangaud Figurative Sculptures

French, b. 1961
Sylvie Mangaud was born in 1961, in Paris. She lives and works in Paris. Sylvie Mangaud seems to sculpt the vibrancy that emanates from the female body in motion. Whether it is a gesture or an emotion, we fully understand the essence. Attitudes are accurately, sometimes slightly ironic, like self-mockery. Her sculptures are close to the sketch, their shadows play with them and tell a poetic double. Her nudes have no definite face, just a head wear, they are all women, all at once playful, languorous, seductive, pensive ... It is the crossroads of her studies that led her naturally to sculpture. Originally, a training of photographer allows her to know how to seize the movement, the emotion, and immortalize the moment. At the same time, she is studying morphopsychology, which will enable her to observe and restore the subtleties of the female body. Nudes and animals immediately become his favorite territory without respecting the proportions that will define her style. Elephants advance with a sure and quiet step. Baboons fly from one branch to another. Herons are about to leave the nest. Cheetahs roam ... Their momentum and their intentions are palpable. They all seem caught on the run, at a standstill. They heard the sound of the dark room closing on them. The bronze material takes under the fingers of the artist a lightness, which makes the sculptures alive, one could almost feel their pulse.
