"I draw from the original material the vital energy that makes clay, in its transformation by fire, the vector of time in the history of Man." A student of the ceramist Michael Cardew, heir to African potters, an "artisan" engaged in the human exchanges of the communities in which he is rooted, Thiébaut Chagué works, transforms, provokes what nature offers him and thereby questions the essence and durability of the art object. Now present in the main European collections, his works, sometimes fired in the open air, have been fleetingly installed at La Piscine. This work sublimates the raw, untamed materiality of his creations and invites us to immerse ourselves in the contemplation of their wild monumentality.
