about this concrete sculpture
Ariane Crovisier’s Totem concrete sculpture is notable for it's striking forms and expressive details, crafted with remarkable emotional depth. The primary medium is concrete, a robust and versatile material that enhances the sculptures’ tactile and visual qualities. This medium allows Crovisier to create intricate textures and bold geometric shapes, which define her work.
Crovisier’s technique focuses on hand-crafting and molding concrete, a meticulous process involving layering and careful shaping. This approach provides the artist with flexibility and the ability to achieve precise forms, resulting in unique and personal sculptures. The process includes shaping the concrete, refining the details, and adding surface finishes to achieve the desired effect. These methods give the works a sense of permanence and timeless energy.
Texture plays a central role in Totem sculptures, with raw, unfinished surfaces juxtaposed against polished or smoothed areas. This contrast introduces depth and complexity to the pieces. The textures evoke a sense of architectural grandeur and natural phenomena, giving her work a monumental and evocative quality.
The sculptures range in size, often designed as towering structures that command attention. Regardless of their scale, each sculpture maintains a profound connection to symbolic and abstract forms. Concrete’s versatility allows for capturing striking contrasts between angular lines and fluid curves, essential to conveying the balance within each piece. Crovisier often incorporates geometric or minimalist elements, pushing the boundaries of traditional sculptural representation.
After shaping, the concrete sculpture undergoes various finishing processes, including staining and sealing, to enhance their surface and durability. Surface treatments create tonal variations and textures, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow across the sculptures. Some pieces combine matte and polished finishes, adding layers of complexity and visual intrigue.
