For this year 2021, the famous artist Guillaume Bottazzi invites us to a gargantuan artistic journey with 25 works of art to discover in France as part of the European Heritage Days. The works presented criss-cross the country from north to south of France, from Lille, via Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Mandelieu... Seven of them are to be discovered in the South, including two in Mandelieu-la-Napoule.
Guillaume Bottazzi has signed nearly 100 environmental and poetic works in public spaces and it is in Mandelieu-la-Napoule that are presented two coral works that seem to come straight out of the seabed. These evanescent paintings, 2,80 and 2 meters long, are made with enamels. This ecological material is a natural material reduced to powder which is composed of different minerals.
These poetic works lead us to travel in an unreal universe. They nourish the passerby by making him dream. They create a poetic, enchanting space that evolves according to our imagination. The imaginary is anterior to our perceptions and ideas, it will reveal them, allow us to build ourselves, strengthen ourselves, renew ourselves and reinvent ourselves.
