About this artwork
There are twelve of them, they meet from time to time and discuss worldly matters, philosophy, theology, human relations, in short everything that makes up life.
Sometimes their meetings are calm and well-ordered, constructive, or serious, other times the Twelve split into several groups (for reflection?), their meetings can even take on the appearance of a free-for-all to the point of coming to blows, like unruly children...
This modular sculpture… which symbolizes them is made available to the collector and it is up to him to materialize these situations by delicately modifying the position or attitude of each one, in an infinite number of possible tableaux.
Modular sculpture in epoxy lacquered steel. Can be installed outdoors, but sensitive to wind.
H. 166 cm, max. wingspan 90 cm, weight 6.2 kg

« "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.
