Jean-Yves BOISLEVE, born 1947
Bouillonne et résonne, Riantec - 2023
Linoleum etching published in color using the lost-plate technique
on pure Velin d'ARCHES paper (chiffon). Engraving no. 315, titled on the back, numbered 13/16 lower left and signed lower right in pencil.
30 x 21 cm
Located on the Ellé river, not far from Le Faouët, the chaos of the Devil's Rocks is a mythical place where, according to legend
Saint Guénolé confronted the Devil. In this chaos, the power of water echoes against the rocks
some of which take on curious shapes. The muted hues of this print reflect the water's struggle to make its way through this maze of rocks.

Jean-Yves BOISLEVE, born 1947
Jean-Yves Boisleve's work revolves around "pay sagères" series, as the late Philippe le Stum, former curator of the Musée Breton in Quimper, wrote. These are suites of 10 to 20 engravings on wood or linoleum, produced in a very small number of copies (maximum 16) using the lost-plate etching technique.
Many of them deal with places steeped in legend (the "Huelgoat forest" suite) or visited by artists who celebrated nature in Brittany (l'Aven, the Devil's Rocks, the Crozon peninsula). They resonate as a tribute to the famous engravers who summed up nature by drawing inspiration from Japanese formal language.
