Sculpture composed of natural Atys and cement on wooden frame. Waxed crude steel base.
Unique piece.
French artist Sophie Brillouet assembles dense rolling surfaces comprised of thousands of seashells, tiny solid objects that now appear like fluid waves.
Imitating the elemental geometry found in nature, the artist herself uses responsibly harvested shells in a process requiring hundreds of hours of labor, for a unique production each time.

Sophie Brillouet
GERMANY
Sophie Brillouet is an art craftsman specializing in the staging of natural, uncut and non-colored seashells. Humanity is deeply linked to seashells for their aesthetic, nurturing, symbolic and spiritual qualities. These natural treasures echo his childhood in Charente-Maritime, with the Atlantic Ocean and its creatures as subjects for contemplation. Sophie Brillouet made her debut in 2014, as artistic assistant to Blott Kerr-Wilson in France and the United States of America (Palm Beach / Florida). At the end of 2015, she chose to follow her own path, guided by her director’s eye, her inspirations born in travels and her artistic references: Surrealism, the Nabis movement and Pop art in particular. Humor and spirituality also feature prominently in her research.
