About this artwork
This piece represents three parallel glass triangular modules, resting perpendicularly on a solid slate beam.
The hardnesses and densities of the materials used by Philippe Fares to make this sculpture are equivalent (tempered glass, cement and solid slate). The result emanates an impression of coherent solidity.
Inspired by the automotive industry, this work is composed of simple and refined forms. The assembly imposes itself by its minimalist… character and by the ferrous green colors of the glazing. Surrounded by the deep black of the tinted cement, the whole is underlined by the gray of the stone. By choosing to light up Effraction in blue, the visual artist gives us a personal work that expresses his conception of a non-functional design.

Philippe Fares is a contemporary French artist whose career has been profoundly shaped by the diversity of cultures and the interaction of art and science. His unique perspective, sharpened by a childhood spent in sub-Saharan Africa, is a testament to his early exposure to the art world, particularly to the influence of primitive arts. Returning to France at the age of 16, Philippe embarked on a path that allowed him to cultivate his understanding of Western arts while pursuing scientific studies.
Philippe Fares’ artworks are meticulously constructed using scientific methods and careful planning. His creations often feature a recurring tiling pattern, a meticulously balanced play with chance. This synthesis of meticulous design and the unpredictability of chance gives his works a dynamic and intriguing quality.
