For 7 years, Alain Rivière-Lecœur has dedicated his work to living pictures made of bodies that he sculpts and shapes.
With "Earth Bodies" he freezes his flesh models in a clay that seems, as in Genesis, to have given them birth. The abandonment and tenderness of these entangled bodies that have become mineral, these lowered eyelids, the grace of these organized disorders draw a striking image. That of a humanity that has become beautiful and finally harmonious through its silent consent to be one with the earth.
In "Stone Bodies" the bodies are welded, sculpted photographically in the rock. The stone gives birth to humans, naked mineralized bodies. Suspended in amniotic pockets, ready to extract themselves from the terrestrial uterine gallery.
With "The Descent from the Cross" he asks himself: What if Jesus was a woman?
This work is not intended to be blasphemous. It evokes injustice, intolerance, feminism, female slavery, abuse and demands social justice.
