"Claudi Casanovas, Claude Champy and Bernard Dejonghe are peers who respect and value each other. They are connected by foundations that inhabit their artistic practice: the relationship to geology, to a form of tellurism, to the study of material and matter, to the place offered to fire.
They are researchers, men committed to digging a trench, inexorably. Not to be striking, but to score. Mark the earth with their gestures, shape, press, scratch, overlap, scratch, cut, glaze… be both inside and outside, inhabit the space offered by the work in progress.
Their works offer us a link between man and nature, they connect us to something beyond us… a vibration, an inner feeling of finally being related to the top or the bottom, at choice .../...
That is why we are so happy to bring together these three major figures of contemporary art, because ultimately it is artists who have chosen to remain on a human scale. They are both giant and tiny, and they are aware of it… what better way to set an example of life?" - Laura Capazza-Durand
