Description
Henri Beaufour (Bilingual edition) showcases the work of Henri, a free-spirited artist whose eclectic and versatile practice spans sculpture, painting, graphics, mosaics, and ceramics. His approach is authentically exploratory, embodying art as pure inspiration and expressive vitality.
Henri's style is marked by refined expressionism, accentuating the physical features of human and animal figures. He distorts muscles into tensions, nerves, cheekbones, and fibres, while always avoiding grotesque or caricatural outcomes. This focus on physiognomic features, such as profiles, grinding, and nodules, is the most distinctive trait of his work. Despite this accentuation, Henri's creations are never mere caricatures; instead, they are profound explorations of human and animal features as they dissolve into harmony and physical composure, transforming into an inner expression, a state of mind, a symbol.
Ultimately, Henri does not create figures, but rather psychic states.
