Exhibition
Izabela Kowalczyk
Izabela, an artist of Polish origin, exhibits regularly in France and abroad. Her work questions our perception of reality through painting and volume.
Transparent and light, these objects float in an undefined space. They are open, spacious, empty, pierced. Passed through by air and light, they allude to movement, circulation, transition, inhalation and exhalation.
In her Reliefs series, Izabela literally deepens the dissociation of background and form in her images, cutting out the shape of the background and hanging it directly on a wall. The wood cut-outs float on the wall, which becomes the new background.
All the works in this collection are for sale. Some are still available! To purchase, we’ll put you in touch with the artist: lezigno@lezigno.org
belverde
Olivier Vadrot
Project for a walkable belvedere sculpture for the Lézigno estate, 2023. It adds to our collection of permanent art works on the Technilum site.
Belverde is a work designed specifically for the Lézigno site, and made using the industrial equipment on site: Technilum aluminum masts, and sheet metal elements of the same metal, cut, bent and screwed together.
The principle is simple: a spiral staircase winds around one, then two, then three, and finally six masts, like the tendril of a climbing plant.
Installed on the highest part of the site, the work invites visitors to gain altitude and discover a distant landscape hidden from those on the ground. In this way, the staircase acts as a belvedere and lookout. At the top, however, there’s no real landing, just a double step – the journey is an end in itself. There’s no turning back either, as the staircase bends at the bottom and then descends again, following the same principle, until it reaches the only one at another point. So the journey can be made in one direction, then the other.
Features:
10-meter-high work, highest platform 7 meters. Material: powder-coated aluminum. Finish: Olive Green 6003 Akzo Nobel. Machining: Technilum. Installation: Technilum & Arnon. Installation: Arnon
