'' Utopia contains the most powerful and mysterious lifeblood in history.
Utopia arises from the past to unveil the horizon.
Only those who look towards what we do not see have the opportunity to change, sense and touch the world in a peculiar manner."
After many years spent abroad, Amsterdam/Bordeaux, Marc Brousse currently lives in Brussels. Graduated in architecture from the TUDELFT Faculty, he began in 2016 his artistic career imbued with his profession as an architect.
"Life is a line, thought is a line, each line is a vision of space and of the world." Manlio Brusantin.
The artist approaches from this hypothesis a work of composition on the soul of the line, in the mechanisms of spatial composition, in its relation to the time equation, to see the evolution of an abstract infinitesimal construction towards a movement forming a space, a figurative and narrative perimeter. Marc thus deploys an artistic language called traitillism by capturing the line in his lifetime, to generate allegories between man, his Architecture and that of Nature.
"Each line is born from a breath so that an inspiration gives the next bar and exhales the line towards an imagination."
Marc considers the line to be between two instants, unlike the point which is associated with the instant. The line represents a quantity, a volume of time, describing a movement. The eye which fixes the line seizes time and can give it form. Thus, in a process of elaboration, the line follows the measure of a life, that of the artist's time. The line comes alive to the rhythm of its breathing. Hundreds of thousands of lines are born in the aspiration of his breath, offering the maturity faithful to each work to transpose the architectural and urban organism to different scales of readings and transform measurements into imaginations.
The artist constructs his reflection on the intimate relationship that exists between the architecture of Nature and that of Man. During his travels, the artist has found that cultural and architectural development follows the epigenetic concept. There are similarities in urban configurations and the architectural matrix of Nature. Each city, an urban artefact, is a unique “species”, a living organism where its juxtaposition of buildings and spaces constitutes the epigenetic program of this place. Epigenesis - as a principle of development where each building not only echoes the existing environment but adds something new and dynamic to the city and its environment.
The artist interweaves his architectural knowledge with the different modes of artistic expression; sculpture, drawing, video. In the continuity of the process of architectural and artistic design, the artist explores new medium to magnify an illustrated reflection in correlation with the ancestral techniques of architectural reflection. The works form a link between gray matter and raw material to express “Archi-sculptures” putting in tension according to the scales of expression, the characteristics of the architecture of Nature and that of Man.
