Artist Statement:
Michel F. Marchand is a
multidisciplinary artist. His
works in various media are
exhibited since 1975. In his
large-scale sculptures, he
often uses very uncommon
materials. during the
eighties, he was active mainly
in installation and
performance art. But right
from the beginning of his work
three decades ago, drawing has
been his medium of choice, the
means of expression he always
comes back to in order to
observe, to think and to
imagine. His large-scale
charcoal drawings can be found
in many American collections.
The human body is always the
starting point for him. He
works with live models, both
men and women. For a number of
years now, he has been
fascinated by the manyfold
reveries on the body put
forward in contemporary dance.
The first lines in the drawing
are always sparked off by the
dancer who models for him, by
the way she or he speaks,
moves, by a strain or tension
furtively revealed. Charcoal
allows for great speed in
execution: once triggered, the
gestual work, the act of
drawing, can become frantic.
Marchand is interested here,
as is the case in his
sculpture work, in the
constant movement and
transformation of shapes.
