2020 edition, Permanent art work
Île de Nantes - pointe Est
Les Brutalistes
Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil

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.

An Art and Territory project made possible thanks to the support of Kaufman & Broad.
With the support of the Vatel Hotel School for the activation of the ovens.
