Jean-Marie APPRIOU Untitled - 2012 Glazed ceramic 54 × 48 × 18 cm Glazed ceramic 21.26 × 18.90 × 7.09 in. Source : Acquired directly from the artist by the current owner The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by the artist. Jean-Marie APPRIOU Jean-Marie Appriou is developing his own approach to sculpture, exploring unconventional processes in materials such as aluminium, glass, bronze and terracotta. From archaic ages to futuristic civilisations, from dinosaurs to child astronauts, Jean-Marie Appriou delivers visions on the edge of psychedelia, mixing pop culture and mythologies, from Greek or Egyptian antiquity to science fiction. His sculpture combines the allegorical and the sensual; the artist likes to leave visible the imprint of his fingers on the material. He weaves a paradoxical narrative that brings together the past and the future, the ideal and the sensible, in a series of hallucinatory ecstasies.
