SOUS-BOIS | UNDERGROWTH

            Eglise Saint Jean-Baptiste, Bourbourg. 
Ensemble de sculptures réalisées par Anthony Caro

<< Les sculptures des niches >>

Le choeur (autour de la cuve baptismale) est consacré au thème de l'eau et de la création du monde.
Anthony Caro a travaillé pour chaque niche à partir de textes religieux, littéraires ou scientifiques.
Les premières niches rappellent que la création du monde ne s'est pas faite dasn le calme, mais avec des chocs, des plis, des failles, des cassures. Le parcours s'achève avec "Fruits", qui évoque l'apparition des végétaux et de l'apaisement.
Ces sculptures, (réalisées avec un mélange  de matériaux: métal, bois et terre cuite), allient figuration (les animaux) et abstraction qui pour A. Caro permet de se centrer sur l'expression, ce qui peut gêner la représentation d'un sujet.

Saint Jean-Baptiste Church, Bourbourg.
Set of sculptures created by Anthony Caro

<< The niche sculptures >>

The choir (around the baptismal font) is devoted to the theme of water and the creation of the world.
Anthony Caro worked for each niche using religious, literary or scientific texts.
The first niches remind us that the creation of the world did not take place in calm, but with shocks, folds, faults, breaks. The journey ends with “Fruits”, which evokes the appearance of plants and appeasement.
These sculptures, (made with a mixture of materials: metal, wood and terracotta), combine figuration (animals) and abstraction which for A. Caro allows one to focus on expression, which can hinder the representation of a subject.
