book sculpture puppet crown de pasquier desvignes bruno (1 résultats)

Etat : Very good plus. Original book sculpture of a noble knight cleverly constructed out of cork, Champaign bottle foil, and toothpicks. Bruno Pasquier-Desvignes defies classification. THE NEW YORK TIMES calls him "part tinkerer and part storyteller, a cross between Alexander Calder and Jean Tinguely;" filmmaker James Ivory compares him to Picasso, noting his ability to "pick up any old thing lying around, see its possibilities for transformation and then turn it into a new and enchanting thing" (RURAL INTELLIGENCE). Pasquier-Desvignes's book sculptures highlight his ingenuity, creativity, and humor, as he toys with the idea of a codex as a container. Original blue pictorial cloth binding with gilt and white stamping. Bookblock fused with glue, with rectangular recess cut into center. Figure made of found materials including cork, Champaign bottle foil, and toothpicks mounted to inner recess, mirror to back of recess.
