About this artwork

Where does this Idol come from? From Africa, Oceania, South America? From an artist's idea of his hands and his tools, to see, to have fun, hoping that you too will find some pleasure in modulating the sculpture and revealing some of the avatars it hides in it. For this you only need a few delicate gestures that you will want to wear to each of the elements that compose it. A small movement and the sculpture changes appearance, but can return to… the first sight in a few seconds ... The wood (sipo) is polished and patinated with ocher and various earths.

Modulations: fairly easy

« "With the modularity of my sculptures, the spectator/collector is no longer just "looking". They become actors. I wrote the score, they become my interpreters." »

Jean Paul Boyer’s sculptures have been exhibited throughout his native France, Europe and China. Boyer continuously questions how to work with the air, or the “void”, that surrounds the material of the sculpture. He denies having a style, and allows himself the freedom to delve into all interpretations and techniques. His process starts by fabricating a model with any material he happens to have on hand, then the works evolve using wood, metal, marble, cardboard, etc.
