Lavoir Vasserot exhibition - The four seasons of Atelier Blu - Sculptures by Cécile de Kock

L'Atelier BLU was born in Ramatuelle, Provence, to practice the cyanotype technique: an interaction between paper or textile and sunlight that reveals plant or photographic compositions to join the blue of the Provence sky.
The monochromatic nature of this technique allows for a thousand and one shades of blue.

Sculptor on Carrara marble Cécile de Kock shapes the material to reveal its light, tension, softness or strength. Her work draws on the age-old tradition of sculpture, while at the same time inscribing it in a resolutely contemporary language.

Each work is born of a dialogue between the raw block and Her gesture, between the density of marble and the emotion of life. She explores form, line, emptiness and presence to give shape to a sensitive expression, sometimes silent, often vibrant.
