Martine Feipel and Jean Bechameil create installations that blend illusion, imagination, instabi- lity and the irrational within the gridlocked and controlled spaces of our contemporary world.
For Place Clémence-Lefeuvre they have created a sculpture that plays with the neighbourhood’s vertical rhythms and architectural layout. Using ceramics and concrete, its geometrical and colourful composition acts like a volume painting within this space. Influenced by the legacy of Brutalist architecture, the two artists chose to use exposed concrete in the tradition of Le Corbusier — who celebrated its “wild, natural and primitive” qualities — along with a precious material: enameled lava stone.
At the heart of their artistic approach, Feipel & Bechameil propose new modes of sharing and inclusion. Since the sculptures are equipped with wood-burning stoves, Les Brutalistes brings locals together to cook. Through the simple act of preparing food, this artwork quite participates in simple, everyday life.
