Gallery certificate will be given to the buyer. Adelie Ducasse (1978, France) lives and works in Paris Keeping her child’s soul: this is the intention of Adelie, a multifaceted artist whose colorful, playful and joyful universe is inspired by the spontaneity of childhood and its brightly colored games such as as legos and puzzles. Adélie Ducasse grew up in the islands, New Caledonia and Réunion, where she developed her taste for colors and primitive shapes. Later, it is in California, that she reconnects with the feelings of her childhood. She lived there for a while and returned there often to enjoy her sunshine, her lifestyle and to be inspired by the modernist architecture that characterizes the region. She i a self-taught artist who specializes in the creation of ceramic light sculptures. She is interested in the possibility of modulating this material, as well as in the bright, bold colors of earthenware. She creates a construction by assembling simple geometric shapes (round, cone and rectangle) in sequences of colors, associating them mathematically. Her work is a cross between two great contradictory inspirations: the Bauhaus (German school founded in 1919) and the Memphis group (Italian design school founded in the 1980s). By reinterpreting the codes of these two artistic groups, she manages to draw on the simplicity of the Bauhaus lines as well as on the rhythmic color sequences of the Memphis group. The use of bright and contrasting colors gives dynamism to the simple and geometric forms of her sculptures.
