Anaïs Lelièvre
SUB-EX-SOL
The artist lives and works between Paris and Marseille
Anaïs Lelièvre allows herself to be penetrated by the landscape and by what radiates from the mineral world. She allows herself to be drawn in by the signs that reveal, in her words, that “beneath it, there is work happening.” Her sensitivity to nature, and particularly to the hostile spaces produced by violent tremors in the earth, has been honed by her frequent travels, especially to Iceland, which she visited in 2015 and again in 2019. The contrasts between the snow and this island’s basalt blackness resembling a huge rock of lava has instilled in her a sensation of losing her bearings, and have since inspired her drawings and installations. Beyond this striking optical effect, the power of the subsurface made tangible on the very surface of the earth’s crust focuses the artist’s gaze on the mineral, which she explores through ceramics. Her need for physical contact with geological history has led her to many spectacular sites, including the Thaïs cave (Drôme), the Roure and Pouzzolane des Dômes quarries (Puy-de-Dôme), the Aletsch glacier (Switzerland) and the Al-Ula Desert (Saudi Arabia)… and an artistic residence in La Junqueira (Lisbon) gave Anaïs Lelièvre the opportunity to develop work around Terramoto, one of the strongest earthquakes recorded in Europe.

Eukeni Callejo
Géomorphosites
The artiste lives and works in Bordeaux (33).
The theme of this exhibition is a technique that I have been working on for the last four years. It focuses on clay and rock subjected to what are very high temperatures for this kind of material, which causes the material to expand and distort.
The challenge is to create and harness a language based on this phenomenon of expansion, using folding, the fusion of materials and colouring certain sections.
It could be called thermal fusion or thermoforming, a means of trying to make lava in a way that is reminiscent of natural phenomena, while at the same time asserting and affirming the fundamental artistic process (colour, form and composition). In the same way that topography becomes landscape through the gaze and value placed on it by human beings, here, matter transformed by a specific intention becomes a work of art.
