The artist
Claire Alexie Turcot
Saint-Vallier
Coming from circus and dance arts, Claire Alexie Turcot remains driven by a powerful need to touch and entertain by telling stories.
Her atypical way of handling the chainsaw, apart from having allowed her to be selected for many international events, marvelously nourishes the emotion she wishes to convey through her sculptures.
The wooden animals that she creates, if they touch us at first sight by their sympathetic appearance, move us deeply when we observe them more closely. Indeed, a careful look can detect cuts, bites and scratches, each wound giving us to see the vulnerability, the truth of these sculpted beings, as if the clown who made us laugh suddenly took off his mask to show us his tears, his fears or worry.
For sure, the authenticity that emerges from the creations of Claire Alexie Turcot is a mirror that forces us to observe our own vulnerability and to agree on the beauty of beings without their mask.
