Stéphane Paillot

Stéphane Paillot's plastic research starts from a "sensitive reality", a notion that became a concept thanks to Aristotle. Beings and objects are compounds of matter, a matter substrate of the change. This matter evolves, it has its own life and elaborates with poetry relations with its environment.

This poetry proposed by the mineral or organic matter, sometimes raw, fragmented, broken or burned says and proposes as many possible stories. Accompanied by the artist's gesture, these stories are offered to our eyes. Impermanence becomes musicality.

"My work with matter is a silent and patient dialogue, instinctive and sensory. I love the material for its own qualities, the stories it reveals to me as I apprehend it with my hands. A glance is sometimes enough. I love the life it gives us, this magic resulting from its intrinsic evolution". -Stéphane Paillot
