Guillaume Bessoule : Sculpting Angels and Demons 3 by Ellen Hall 3 Born to a French mother and a Russian father in Cameroon, Guillaume was left to his own devices to explore the exuberant nature of the African jungle. His early companions were serpents, trees and spiders. Later in Morocco he fell in love with the ruins of ancient Greek and Roman cities. “I felt I was completely at home among those old stones.”
His present show in Banyuls includes a copy of marble capital from Serrabone, complete with angels and lions, and a mortar with carvings of a bull’s head and a plant that reflect the fantastic power of nature. |
