" La vie d'un trait tiré " LIFE OF A DRAWN LINE"
'' 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."
Marc Brousse was born in South of France. Graduated from TU Delft
(Netherlands), he started end 2015 his artistic path parallel to his profession
as an architect. After several years abroad, Amsterdam, Brussels, he is
currently living and working in Brussels.
Marc Brousse based is artistic reflexion on the intimate link between architecture of Nature and architecture of Man.
Life is a line,
action is a line, thought is a line, each line is a vision on space and the
world ? Manlio Brusantin.
Marc Brousse approach from that quote a research on the line, the
power of its soul in its mecanims for spatial composition, to see the rise of
an abstract infinitesimal construction toward a movement definig a shape, a
pattern, a figurativ space. Moreover Marc considers that the line is between
two instants. The line represent a quantity of time, describing a movement.
Thus the eye which grasp the line catch the time and give him form. Such
principle permit the artist to transpose the architectural organism and urban
to different scale and transform mesurements in imaginations.
Thus The artist develops un new language
named traitillism, by reconditioning a technique discovered by Paul Clodel
Cauchard. The artist gets his unique style according to different research
concerning the history of the line, the several architecture treaty ( from
renaissance to nowadays) and the notions of ?parti et poch? to represent
architecture. An architectural writings, a composition of urban calligraphy
integrating a specific vision of cities with intriguing architectural matrix
juxtaposed with his work on curved and cylindrical perspectives permit to
recondition our thinking on cities and our environnement.
His artworks are realised with Ink, charcoal and graphite. Each
artwork is drawn free handed to the naked eye. Marc add to each artwork a
short text, ?instant poetry? permitting to bring into resonance our imaginary
with the artworks, and recall for our memory of space.
Since 2019, Marx is exploring new mediums in collabarotion with
other artists always with the same goal, to reveal that the founding principles
of civilizations are done through urban cultures nourished by symbols, utopias
to engrave identity references and generate memory of places. Thus the
fundamental values ??of our environment such as architecture, the nature city
are a vector of social relationship and unification.
?Everywhere
where there is interaction between a
place, a time and an expenditure of energy, there
is rhythm? (H. Lefebvre) Rythm Analysis.
Following the process for architectural conception, sculptures allow to rise, erect the reflexion illustrated to express a feeling, a vision of our society and environement, using old and modern technics. The artworks create a link between shape and mater, to express what I call ''archi-sculptures". Those latest formulate allegories to put in tension at different scale leves the caracteristics of architecture of Nature and architecture of Man.
