PARCOURS DE MONUMENTALES ET EXPOSITION PATRICK VILLAS À NEUFCHÂTEAU
Exposition à l’Espace Culturel F Mitterand du 6 mai au 12 juin 2022

Pendant un mois, les œuvres de l’artiste belge de renommée internationale Patrick Villas sont exposées au Trait d’Union. Cette exposition est complétée par un parcours de sculptures monumentales dans le centre ville de Neufchâteau.

Galerie Bayart presents the works of Patrick Villas & others at booth 52 of the prestigious Paris Biënnale in the Grand Palais éphémère from November 26th to December 5th 2021.

For his second collaboration with Daum France, Patrick Villas created a “Head of a Lion” in an edition of only 75 pieces in crystal. 37 × 35 × 42 cm, 46kg – more info on daum.fr – video of the piece on https://patrickvillas.com/editions/

Daum, since 1878

Daum, the legendary glassmaker master, has kept alive for more than a century a love relationship with the greatest artists of its time, giving their work of art a second life of crystal and colours. From the Ecole de Nancy, from Art Nouveau to Art Decoratif, from Majorelle to Dali, Arman and Hilton McConnico, Daum has not missed any of the magic rendez-vous of the artistic creation and modern savoir- faire, which has always renewed the alliance of art and art craft. Few brands have worked with as many artists: for 140 years, more than 350 exceptional signatures have constituted a heritage beyond compare, a unique collection. How to convey those works into crystal sculptures? This is where Daum’s secret lies: shaper of the exception, highly knowledgeable workshop, laboratory of wonders, designer of incomparable objects.

For his second collaboration with Daum, Patrick Villas realizes a proud and powerful lion’s head. Felines are a central theme of his work. The crystal worked with the lost-wax technique transcribes all the work of the material, and preserves the modeling traces specific to the work of Patrick Villas, giving birth to a very contemporary sculpture. The crystal plays with the light and brings a new emotional momentum to Patrick Villas’ work.

“In my work, I use shadows and natural lights to create a living interaction between the interlocutor and the work. I suggest the details and the shadows complete them. Throughout my career, I researched different materials and techniques: painting, sculpture, bronze, clay, ceramics and now crystal. I’ve know Daum since my youth, when I crossed the whole of France in search of antiquities and captivating objects, the vases and lampshades by Daum particularly touched me. Having the opportunity to create especially for Daum Nancy is an honour.” – Patrick Villas
