The Mockeries of Plick and Plock (of Christophe) . Only resin pieces by Pierre DURDILLY
|
|
Appeared in the 1970's in the United States and in Germany in the tradition of dolls and toys, artist's doll is the object now of a real craze. She is present in the boutiques of toys, the specialized salons, the auction and is object of publications and temporary exhibitions. The interest of artist's doll does not lie, contrary to the antique dolls, in her age or her rarity. It is not a question either than a toy but well real art work which reflects the personality of the artist and touches the sensibility of the amateur. Every artist puts his talent in the service of the beautiful, of the soft, the truth or the humor, in creations which are real reflections of the reality or unlike pure representations of their imaginary. From some wood to the china, from some tissue to the leather by way of the papier-mâché, the wax and the resins of synthesis such as Cernit or Fimo, artist's contemporary doll conjugates tradition and modernity.
