Guillaume GARES, born 1993
Guillaume Garès is a ceramist and sculptor who has been based in Lannion for nearly 10 years. His sculptural work is rooted in the region, evoking the duality of the rocky coastline between its granitic minerality and the sea spray that hits it during winter storms. The textures of the pieces recall the erosion of these rocks, which have long been subject to the work of the tides.
After several years devoted to creating utilitarian porcelain objects, Guillaume Garès turned to modeling and sculpting large pieces in white stoneware and red crucible clay. He pursues his research to translate into enamel the effects of materials he discovers in nature, during his walks along the Breton coast. His current ceramic quest is to transcribe the minerality of sea foam and concretions in his glazes.
The starting point for this quest is a walk on the beach on the eve of a storm, with rocks covered in white foam and turquoise water. The surface treatment is created by the glaze bubbling during the high-temperature firing (1280°) and forming all those craters that create an aspect reminiscent of marine concretions and foam.
For Ar Seiz Avel, Guillaume Garès has created two sculptures in white glazed stoneware, representative of this quest for texture.
