MARIE-LAURE TEISSEIRE
Sculptural artist
About
Between tension and harmony, my sculptures seek the unity of opposites.
Each artwork is a journey towards a form of sensitive wholeness.
I create sober, contrasting forms, born of the encounter between wood, metal and stone. My sculptures explore the balance between opposites: line and curve, full and empty, stability and movement. They are born of a search for precision, inspired by the rhythms of life, the traces of language and simple, essential forms.
My artistic universe dialogues with contemporary calligraphy, drawing and photography. Each piece is an invitation to slow observation, to an inner movement, to a form of presence.
Before becoming fully involved in design, I worked as an ecotoxicologist. I learnt to observe the subtle balances of ecosystems, to decipher the invisible interactions between elements. Today, this experience nourishes my sensitivity to links, hidden tensions and silent transformations.
Born in Reims in 1970, I now live and work in Isère, in the heart of the Terres Froides region. Since 2001, I've been developing an artistic approach that evolves through projects and encounters. I exhibit in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and elsewhere, both solo and in group shows, sometimes in the form of installations where the public is invited to take part in the development of the story.
