This remarkable and intriguing work of art presents itself as a visual symphony where geometric simplicity meets a rich conceptual complexity. Against a background of a deep and uniform blue, a series of elongated and golden shapes stand out, arranged symmetrically, evoking as much elegant figures as abstract and minimalist features. The golden shapes, like blades or vertical ellipses, are carefully aligned to create a visual harmony reminiscent of a sound wave or even a kind of visual code. Their symmetrical and offset arrangement creates a dynamic and captivating rhythm, irresistibly drawing the eye towards the center of the composition where the largest elements are located, before gradually decreasing in size towards the extremities. The juxtaposition of blue and gold reinforces the contrast and accentuates the luminosity of the golden shapes. This combination of colors instills a sense of mystery and majesty, suggesting at once the unfathomable depth of the ocean, the infinity of the night sky, and the timeless richness of gold. What sets this work apart is its evocative power. It invites the viewer to reflect on the nature of harmony, the idea of travel, or the universal visual language. The artist succeeds in transforming simple shapes and fundamental colors into a composition that transcends time and space, offering a visual experience that is as profound as it is captivating. In short, this piece is a perfect illustration of the power of minimalism when each element is used with remarkable precision and intention. It embodies the idea that sometimes, apparent simplicity hides an infinite depth, ready to be explored by the attentive observer.
Dorsan Cousin was born in 1996 in Belgium. After studying at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts “le 75” in Brussels (painting option) during which he went on an Erasmus trip to Reunion Island. He started to work in his studio alone. He tries out different techniques and mediums. At the same time, he develops video games for mobiles with a friend. In 2019, he produces a series of sculptures entitled “Faces” which he will finish in 2021 before returning to painting.
Nature is at the centre of my work, influenced since my childhood by my stays in the Ardennes in my grandfather’s house.
The series “Faces” was firstborn from the desire to experiment with sculpture, and more precisely with wood sculpture. The wood used to make the sculptures comes from logs, branches, driftwood branches, driftwood or dead wood recovered either during my travels and hikes, or directly in my or directly in my garden. It is a natural material that I recover and reuse.
I approach the face as an obsession, it is born from quick sketches before being carved directly onto the wood, which I carve with chisels and a gouge. The faces generally invade the space I give them. The repetition of similar faces, and their accumulation, reinforces this idea of invasion.
The obsession translates into thoughts, ideas, which invade the mind repeatedly. The faces are repeated like an obsession.
These are faces carved in wood and not masks, which are all too often anchored in the collective unconscious! The image of the mask can prevent the public from having a pure reading of the artwork, uninfluenced by the period of colonisation and indigenous art. These sculptures have no function associated with any rituals or cults, they exist on their own and by themselves.
