Mennessons, Painter and Sculptor

One of Mennessons’ first etched works was called Je voudrais être un nuage (I wish I were a cloud). Throughout his life as a painter and sculptor he shunned the static, which for him was synonymous with death, and instead sought movement, particularly movement towards light.

L’écriture en noir et bleu outremer relevée de flammes jaunes, crée une danse de formes qui tournent en montant. Comme l’oreille à l’écoute de la musique, l’oeil est emporté dans cette sarabande. Le temps où se déroule la musique a réussi à se matérialiser dans l’espace de la peinture.
