I learned that a few new pieces were born this winter under the fingers of Nicolas Lavarenne in the calm of his workshop ... the secret is well kept but you will of course the scoop of their discovery at their final patina ...
Always in two dimensions, of cabriole in pun, Anton keeps the lucidity of the child in the game, juggling with the illusions and the real one. Without naivety, without nostalgia. This innocent recreational paradise, he recreates it as he pleases, awakening in the adult a real joy of this regained universe. It is not surprising that the myth of the clown, the mountebank, mirror theme of the artist and the child confused here.
This project was born quite naturally. It comes from far away. Its origins and future lie in Venice, a seafaring country that has always been aware of the
treasure represented by the sea.
The sea, source of life, which we have exploited and damaged. Having already caused the disappearance of numerous living species, the landlubber must react and follow the wise and noble example of the Venetian, who for 1600 years has respected his union with the lagoon, the Adriatic, in other words the Mediterranean and all the oceans. Artists have thought and worked around the eternal yet threatened theme of the simple future of this source of life and travel that is the sea.
