Early 2010 ...
In order to preserve know-how and industries doomed to disappear, the artist Jérémy Gobé creates works from materials offered by workers from closed and/or closing factories.
At the same time, he hunted at Emmaüs for objects from the past that he could highlight and connect to contemporary issues. He discovered corals there; immediately fascinated by these sculptures of nature, he decided to extend them with different materials such as ceramics, construction dowels, knitting etc., and studied these complex structures in an almost scientific way.
Following his spirit, a link is created between the disappearance of coral tissue , a vital element of the natural cycle of our planet and the impoverishment of the industrial fabric and know-how in France, very often a support for maintaining local life.
Jeremy Gobe
Artist, founder and CEO
The artist seeks out workers without jobs and materials without workers, objects without use and uncrafted works. Through his exhibitions in France (Palais de Tokyo, CENTQUATRE-Paris, Bullukian Foundation, etc.) and internationally (Bass Museum Miami, Hangzu China Museum, Shanghai Yuz Museum, etc.), his works offer a reconnection with nature.
Like Auguste Rodin's words: "an art that has life does not reproduce the past, it continues it", Jérémy Gobé, drawing inspiration from ancient know-how, imagines comprehensive solutions to contemporary problems.
