Deeply touched by the optical art, but also by the values of the teaching of the Bauhaus lauding an instruction centred on the fundamental value of the manual labor, Sébastien created indefatigably more and more complex drawings being able to compete with what a machine could produce in a few moments.
By this approach he knew how to create a visual confusion at the spectator who can bring this last one to wonder about the origin (human or mechanical) of his works. But only while approaching the spectator will have been able to identify the stigmas of the passage of the human hand, the attitude which Sébastien names the reward of the curious.
His work does not limit itself to a production in 2 dimensions, but finds a correspondence in 3 dimensions by means of thread installations, often realized in natural environment, so offering him a perfect freedom both in term of size and variety. For it he works in association with the photographer Ludovic LE COUSTER, who works with argentic cameras.
During his previous personal exhibition «Mechanical Sensivity», in September, 2010, in David Bloch Gallery, Sébastien presented us a set of, sometimes complex, often hypnotic, drawings, including an exploration of the color while playing at most on the confusion between human or mechanical production.
For its new personal exhibition («Optical Disorder» in David Bloch Gallery from march 2nd till 31st 2012), Sébastien develops its work towards a bigger humanization of its drawings by accepting the fallibility of his hand, by provoking the imperfection, by looking for the difficulty bringing him in to cross the technical performance.
To be made, he has chooses to work on bigger sizes, using new materials and tools, breaking with a symmetry clearly assumed in its previous creations. This series of drawings will be accompanied with photos ( big size) realized with his friend photographer Ludovic LE COUSTER.
