Jean-Michel Bihorel (French, 1988) Flower Figures N°03, 2016
Jean-Michel Bihorel was born in France in 1988, He has been doing digitally generated pictures since 2008 after finishing his studies in an animation school in France. The flower series started when he found a dried hydrangea on the street. The structure was so fascinating to him that he decided that he had to do something with it. The artist has digitally sculpted this delicate ‘flower figure’. It has been meticulously multiplied over the framework of a female anatomy, creating surreal digital sculptures that blends the natural and the physical world. These art sculptures allowed him to to explore the possibilities of realism from software to imagine a sculpture made of flowers, which seems natural. These blossoming digital sculptures by Jean-Michel Bihorel combine the artist’s fascination with flowers and the female form. Some of the modern art sculptures have moments of falling asleep and dance, his art is both ethereal and nostalgic. In some figures, the artist shows only flower made sculptures, in other he adds the marble to the flower women form. Child of two artists using traditional supports, Jean-Michel Bihorel has always been attached to the beauty of the material, the gesture and more generally to a certain figurative realism in art A photo of the dried flowers that informed the ‘flower figure’ project

Using “Kintsugui”, a traditional Japanese technique witch consist in fixing an object with gold, to make it even more beautiful than it was before. It means that the fact of breaking the object is just an event in its life and that it gets more and more precious as the time passes. The point here is to use the crack as an ornament and not as a accident

“I took classical sculptures from old masters and reveal the emotions streaming out of them like a metaforical wind tunnels. These artworks will age as days passes and gain another form of beauty only time can bring. The look of this series is heavily influenced by René Lalique opalescent glass works.” Jean-Michel Bihorel (French, 1988) Emotion stream 06, 2021
