A heart of child, a wild imagination, thus could to summarize creations of this autodidact born in 1952… Niçois of stock, Mouginois of heart. Come on late to “art”, it is due to the quotation marks, often repeating: “ I approach art with the same distance that I contemplate a star” it creates such as it is in the life; silent, bear, self-destroying, preaching the autodérision: “Not to take to me with serious, such is my rule, I apply it seriously! » Not very noble matters made up of scrap, ruffled sheets, various elements of recovery, asserting itself modestly current “Arte Povera” It to the “cemetery” of the rejects of our company will nourish its imagination and will retranscribe it by assembling it on fabrics, drink, grids, bases … The prevalence rusts in charge of past, of wear, runs up often with the colors chatoyantes of its fabrics, it faces in its assemblies the glare of brass, the intensity of metals pure and other accessories. Thus fascinating body and matter its creations surprise us, Challenge, question, us diverting sometimes without never us to leave indifferent. Its characters “Homo aequus libri” us go up the brittleness and the inconsistency of our life vis-a-vis company become devourer and gaspilleuse. The matters spout out their funds and chahute in our spirit. Other assemblies are witnesses, “vestiges” of the last use which it rehabilitates in “composition dead” of or there does not remain any more but the gasoline even of the raw material: power and the force. “I definite like assembler, agitator of art, and not as artist, I am of torture tended flax”I work most of the time in the urgency and the exaltation, That does in two phases, the first: The discovery It starts first of all at the office of the person in charge for the dechettery, stage obligatory or I must often have patience, awaiting my turn to ask for the authorization of go “to supply me”. There is always an uncertainty as for its acceptance. During this time there, I am in a state of excitation and premonitory jubilation on the possible discovered ones that I will make. Jubilation which is transformed sometimes into disappointment, when on the “heap”, nothing inspires to me. The second phase is that of the arrival to the workshop, of the unloading of the parts recovered, their display on the large iron table. At this time there the urgency and the exaltation seize me and do not leave me any more until I find, while positioning in all the directions, on all my cash in hand, these lucky finds to succeed has compositions aesthetic, fusional, detonating, satisfactory in my eyes. I use spontaneousness and the sensitivity, two major elements in my work which enable me to create “original works”, at least I hope for it. I have a duty to realize and to finalize “work” at the moment or I begin it and by using materials available to the moment present returning seldom above the following days. I do not transform materials or very little, but assembles them, refines them, directs them towards another destiny which was with the first access theirs, I give them another significance, more poetic, more imaginary, or more phantasmagoric sometimes, while trying to preserve the print of their past, which give them I believe a power and an authenticity. NielASSEMBLY The assembly finds its origin at the same time in joinings and constructions of the cubist, in the objet trouvé duchampien and the compositions of the surrealist ones. The word is employed for the first time by Jean Dubuffet in 1953 to qualify joinings for small sculptures which it carries out with materials of fortune. It is then taken again to describe combines them Paintings of Robert Rauschenberg or the work of Louise Nevelson. Left joining in three dimensions, the assembly is a technique which consists in joining together materials and various objects, often found, to produce a certain form of sculpture.
