liliane bettencourt prize
the liliane bettencourt prize for "l'intelligence de la main" 2001 was
awarded to the glass sculptor bernard dejonghe. the jury's aim was to
select a work in which perfect mastery of traditional techniques and
original material research was harmoniously combined with
outstanding aesthetic quality.
bernard dejonghe
from known to unknown, his sculptures, through their very presence,
lead us into this strange relationship that they establish with a place,
moments of balance to discover and to experience.
both the body and gaze are sought after to go beyond the juntion of a
material and a form caught by fusion, where gestures and thought
create the event.
it is a manifestation of creation and, like suspended energy, the work
never stops venturing forward.
