ÉLISABETH OULÈS (BORN 1953) Standing figure Statuette in plaster and polychrome Height: 28 cm From a trip to Egypt in 1975, Elisabeth Oulès returned fascinated by the link between site, architecture, sculpture and human representation. The relationship of scale between tiny figures and colossi, this research into form and space, was confirmed on other trips. "All my plastic research is associated with verticality and the way of apprehending and occupying space". "For me, poetry and color are closely linked and reproduce a balance (such as the balance of a tree) where form harmonizes with the space in which it is inscribed". Provenance: Jean Pierre Guigo Bataillard collection, now in the family.
