It is a fact that, thanks to his talent and imagination, these instruments of good eating make us forget their function, as the artist, according to his mood and inspiration, magnifies spoons, forks, cake servers into animals of brilliant realism and astonishing vitality. Gérard BOUVIER knows how to maintain his style and humor while his birds, horses, mythical beings, insects or tightrope walkers form a magical, sumptuous, grotesque and dynamic series. André RUELLAN, art critic, has exhibited in the United States, Asia, Germany, Austria. In 1964, he won a sculpture competition organized by André Malraux with a device made from railway sleepers, very innovative. Very marked by a stay with the Dogon, in the 1980s, he is "very sensitive to tribal art. Bouvier is a sorcerer of matter. His painting is reminiscent of the sedimentation of time, something almost childish. It speaks of elsewhere, of another world, sublimated. His figurines have something inhabited. There is a very coherent aesthetic intention. Modernity is close to the language of ancient peoples,” describes the one who has become a friend.
