Buste de boxeur
Description
Plâtre couvert de cire. ; Portrait de boxeur. Ce buste pourrait être une scène de cinéma. J’ai cherché à montrer l’impact du direct magistral que ce boxeur vient d’encaisser. La joue est enfoncée et la tête déportée. En fait la violence me fait mal. A l’époque ou je travaillais sur ces sculptures, j’ai voulu voir un véritable match de boxe. J’en suis ressortie les muscles tétanisés tant la violence me faisait me contracter, et à la réaction de la foule hurlante encore plus. Peut-être ces sculptures m’ont-elles permis d’évacuer en exprimant la violence que j’avais en moi et qui me faisait souffrir. J’ai coulé ce buste en béton noir.
