Fragment

Aurélien Veyrat wants to question the usual point of view and transforms basic elements into new pieces. Bricks are made of earth but they are industrially produced and nowadays they symbolize our society which has been driven continuously by money and productivity.
Highlighting their subtile colors, their extensive textures and their graphical qualities, Aurélien resets our vision : while looking at his columns or sculptures of repeated elements, we feel a confrontation between past and future, between low- and high-technology, between industry and craft. We can be moved by the beauty of these ruins while our world seems so troubled. Earth and lime colored units will be stacked creating an enigmatic built volume : strong and falsely regular while looking like a lace.
Using his own sculpture wastes inspires Aurélien Veyrat new shapes and new associations. He will also present a series of melted glass and bricks conveying mini-architectures.
Other architectural fragments, supported by walls or supporting them, will evoke an industrial heritage needing a pause...

Aurélien Veyrat has always been fascinated by process, art and design. After studying cabinetmaking, he developed his own personality in Fine art school and at Ensad Paris. Rich of his first experience with the architect Jean Nouvel, he founded his studio in 2008. His open-minded profile led him to create products, pieces of furnitures as well as sculptures or spaces... Some of his creations for his label Objet Optimisé entered the french "Mobilier National" collections. He finally decided to converge his knowledges for his own art production, melting construction fascination, approach of technics and materials and personal inspirations.
