Jérôme Mesnager, graduate of the Boulle school is an urban artist. In 1983, he created “Corps Blanc”, symbol of light, strength and peace, which is on the walls of Paris and cities around the world.
For this collaboration with Daum, artist Jérome Mesnager has created a series of abstract human figures engraved in blocks of crystal. While one façade is perfectly polished and smooth, the other is rough and uneven like wood, Mesnager’s preferred medium. This work of art marries the delicate nature of crystal with the rough-hewn texture of natural materials. In this particular piece, “Love Dance,” the white silhouettes strike a poetic contrast against the luminous amber color of the background and the transparency of the crystal, creating an illusion of infinite space.
Each Daum crystal piece is made using the rare and ancient “Pâte de Verre” glassmaking technique, which dates back to 5,000 BC and involves melting many fragments of colored crystal within a mold. This results in intense colors and subtle shading. Handmade in France. Limited edition of 8
Measures 1″ x 11¾” x 12½” h.
