Agnes Nivot Art Brut Sculpture Box

“Agnès Nivot is a traveler of the continents and of the human soul. She cultivates in her sculptural pieces a kind of archaeological fiction which is expressed essentially through the almost primitive starkness of forms and the sobriety of hues. There remains the beautiful diversity of the material, which is essential. Each piece modeled in a clay chosen for its color and for its texture is presented as a kind of memorial symbol or ritual of the first creations of man, historical or even imaginary... In a word, from the circle of megaliths to the Chinese 'bi', image of heaven and of supreme power, from primitive Egypt to Atlantis… The work of earth here traces a continuous circle, from meditation on the origin to self-reflection and the asceticism of infinity. »
