'Edifice' Floor Light Sculpture Featuring a Lit Interior in Straw Marquetry
-
Description
François Mascarello’s ‘Edifice’ floor light is a unique sculpture in waxed stucco resembling a glowing edifice, the interior of which is entirely covered in straw marquetry of a subtle grey and beige dégradé. Handmade in Paris, this sculpture with a lit interior is like a ‘scaled architecture for the home’ alive with light bouncing off of the straw marquetry and glowing through the different openings. It takes on a new and different appearance depending on the angle from which it is viewed: a cubist home in the spirit of Le Corbusier or a skyscraper-like impressive vertical building.
In François Mascarello’s words: “My painting already tended towards the abstract and the quasi-choreographic movement. Today, the architectural impulse is integrated as much as possible, the idea being to explore all of the dimensions of the possible: from the smallest to the greatest, from the deepest to the lightest, from the most elusive perspective to the most intimate line.”
Painter, sculptor, designer but also craftsman, François Mascarello uses the strength as well as the fragility of manual techniques in his creations. In a time in which laser can cut just about any drawing in any material, and in which 3D printers can infinitely reproduce identical shapes, it is through his mastery of the material constraints that he brings to life the emotion that is indispensable to art. -
