Collections born of a dialogue with Nature.
Made of earth, water and fire, Sophie Luline’s sculptures explore our relationship with the living world. They evoke an ancient, almost instinctive connection that we have gradually forgotten but which remains deeply ingrained within us.
Her world oscillates between the figurative and the imaginary. The forms evoke flowers, corals, marine or plant organisms, yet they also seem to belong to a dreamlike realm, where the boundary between reality and dreams blurs.
Aquatic and plant forms meet, intermingle and transform. They compose hybrid, almost living landscapes in which humans can recognise themselves and project their own experiences.
Some works may appear baroque due to the abundance of forms, the proliferation of details and the blossoming of volumes. Yet the gesture that creates them seeks simplicity.
Sophie Luline works with very few tools — a rolling pin, a knife, a modelling tool — leaving the hand to take centre stage. The trace of the gesture remains in the material, like an imprint of the living.
This gestural approach allows for great spontaneity. The forms seem to emerge, grow and open up naturally, as if the material itself were participating in their creation.
Her sculptures thus become blossoms: fragments of an organic world, both familiar and imaginary.
