Jean Divry
Jean Divry is a Sculpteur French which saw and currently works with Paimpol (Coast-with Armor) in Brittany. It was born in 1953 with Montreuil. It developed an original process to create images of Verre starting from documents and noble metals. Creator of Mercury O.L. Aubert for the Chamber of commerce of Coast-in Armor, several of its works are also present in the public collections.
Heat is born the inspiration
Images coloured in the transparency of glass, cold pigments which emphasize lines of writings, noble metals delicately posed on robust metal structures, minerals crimped in the middle of Eastern figures. Thus the sculptor Jean Divry mobilizes his creative energy. All these matters find a harmony in the incandescent crucible of its imagination. “The step of the artist, explains it, has something of spiritual. It is necessary to be very attentive with that. Creation is business of sincerity. Not to seek what was already said and which does not belong to us. It would be beyond the sanction even of the public, to be likely to sanction oneself. To give a false indication of oneself of being identified to another. How a child can be the image of his father, in the voice, the style! One moment, should be killed the father. In the artistic field, the power of the expression, the power of the message depends on the way which one makes with oneself by taking account of the presence of the autres."
A sculptor before very humanistic
Jean Divry developed a process to create images of glass. “A total field of discovery little exploited for the moment.” Images where the artist reveals his gripping of the world. The sculptor is located just a few seconds after chaos: this immense explosion which upset the universe. With the incandescent magma which cools the first mineral crystallizations appear. A new world structure. With him another balance. Meeting of different elements which did not have, a priori, to get along, a solid base is built. And then the first foams come rather quickly: life. In some images the artist invites us to the spectacle of the creation of the world. “With heat the world is organized. With it is born the life. That also brings back to us to something of tribal. With the circle even of the family. The group with the clean direction of the term. The hearth, the hearth: expressions which evoke heat. ”“There is a bond between the artistic expression which was essential on me and my naturally humanistic vocation. A research inside myself brought back to me to something of constructive. The weather is hot inside my house and I invite the others there. Many people lost the direction of this heat. The children are separate today as fast as possible of their hearth, at the school or elsewhere. They are delivered more and more to themselves. With the emergence of the video games, they communicate with imaginary which is not theirs. They are constrained by the limits of the play. ” Jean Divry militates for a made world of humanism and especially without borders. Better still; a world which grows rich by its cultural differences. When I travel I try to collect messages. What there is moreover in vain in the other countries: culture, architecture, music, poetry, sounds of the language, writing etc… I often refer to Giono in the Song of the world . The author described there a small valley by evoking its context. Material environment of the things. We are always dependant on the presence of the other. That can make fear with some. It is then necessary to try to put itself as much as possible in reserve. ”
Contribution of each people to knowledge, is born civilization. This civilization which is transmitted by the writing. This one is the bond between the men in time and space. It is present everywhere. In all its forms. Wedge-shaped writing with the Arab signs. All that connects the men has Established among. The currency, for example. It is an instrument of exchange. It materializes the offering. It is acquired by the sacrifice: that of the force of the work of the men. This work which creates the richness. An at the same time material and spiritual richness.
Lines of writing
But this world there is fragile. It was transmitted by successive heritages and must be bequeathed to the future generations in good state. It is all the engagement of Jean Divry. He denounces the evils of the contemporary company. He fights for the safeguarding of a water of good quality. “Since Antiquity water is paramount, explains it, and mainly in the Middle East. The wandering people manufacture objects to contain this water. As the gourd carried in shoulder-belt and which is also used as ornament. It is the esthetic object of higher bid. A small water reserve, they is invaluable. ” This gilded gourd is placed by the artist in the middle of concentric circles. “In fact the waves are propagated at water surface when a stone there is thrown. ” Of the waves which are propagated like the cultures throughout the world. It is the glance of the artist thrown to the top of the well. “The first circles are formed starting from lines of wedge-shaped writing. The more one goes towards outside, the more Western the writings become contemporary and. ” The artist is pressed on a rich person library to work: works of psychoanalysis. But also on archeology, glasses of art, painting and the sculpture. Symbolic system of the numbers, the writing, the forms, the objects, etc… Orientation. And a whole collection of novels. “I seek agreements between things which first of all seem not to have some”A well of knowing
Jean Divry adopts a linguistic step: “That is what the well evokes in the collective thought? The water of the well! Well of knowing! Well of learning! The truth leaves the well! ” Water has something of invaluable: here, I speak to you about water. It is a topic which is very expensive to me. With in Brittany the problem of the green algas, pollution by nitrates and the atrazine. ” Also important they are, the work of the artist could not be reduced with these committed messages. The sculptor through work knew to conquer the perfect control of his tool. Its images of glass became its language. Today, there exists through its work. “To make” is much stronger than “to say it”. Bus of heat is born the inspiration.
