About this artwork
It is a small sphere whose surface is lined with multi-colored polyethylene lancets, with blood-red craters which, when illuminated, suggest hemoglobin.
The imprecise outline of these, chosen by Philippe FARES, opposes the perfect geometric position of the light points installed on the solid of revolution.
The biplane base, an angular object, holds the bloody ball as if in weightlessness.
Like a painting by Georges Seurat, this 3D work cannot… be looked at closely, on the contrary, this is how the distribution of colors becomes continuous.
This is the very principle of Divisionism.

Credentials
- Works on commission
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.
