| About the Artist |
Modular and interactive pictorial concept:
From removable canvases, the public can compose its own painting and be interactive with the work. This interchangeable module art made from quotations, utopian representations, is an art of instability, of plasticity of meanings. The meaning is introduced by the substitution, moving, continuity, the addition and deletion. Poetry is born from these syntactic breaks.
Unlike these childish puzzles and these closed gates where sense is the only "right" solution, here is the creation in the whole kaleidoscope of possible compositions. A magnet stretcher allows the canvases mobility.
About Sébastien LECCA
Sébastien LECCA was born in Lima, Peru, in January 1972 from a Peruvian father and a French mother. Autodidact, "He keeps his native Peru taste for bright colours without being aggressive". He has been painting since his early childhood and in 1991 he decided to devote more fully, while pursuing studies in social sciences.
Sebastien Lecca is also known for his plastic installation called ArcEnCielage, to which he has associated young mentally handicapped people. They dress trees with the help of rainbow-coloured paintings and which are recorded and has added about 1000 names, to symbolize the idea of "Living Together".
In 2007, for its 4th edition, the installation runs into major cultural venues, such as the" Parc de la Villette", the piazza at the "Georges Pompidou Center", "Parc du Luxembourg"…
On July 14, ArcEnCielage was hosted by the French President at the Elysée Palace gardens during the Garden Party. |
