Guezennec Alain

The Artist

Guezennec Alain

was born in 1948 near Paris. He has spent his entire career in the corrugated cardboard industry in a sector leader. So very naturally when he had the opportunity to devote more time to his passion for artistic creation naturally he use paper and cardboard as part of his favourite materials.

Is their "experience" that calls him, the wounds of time, traces of usage, recycling waste. From an inert and poor material, his imagination leads to forms that may as well stay in the abstraction that come to life in evocations of animals or characters. It is the material to guide him, colour punctuates forms or support but not always, the evocative power of the raw material in the glow of the chaos that can often stand on its own.
