Alain Longet (French, b. 1950) Steel Sculpture
HISTOIRE DE L'ÉGYPTE ANCIENNE (2004)
HISTORY OF ANCIENT EGYPT (2004)
Work in polished stainless steel and blued hot.
DESCRIPTION: An steel sculpture composed of salvage materials, incorporated motifs such as the mask of Tutankhamun, a three dimensional book with pyramind and other geometric shapes. Signed on the base "Alain Longet"
CIRCA: 20th Century
ORIGIN: France
DIMENSIONS: H. 34" x W. 18" x D. 8.5"
Alain Longet is a born artist.
Very young, he drew, collected to build toys, games ... Music runs through his veins. Later he will be guitarist, drummer, songwriter, performer. But this is not its vocation.
Poet, he will publish two collections of poems, one of which will be prefaced by Henri VINCENOT. Hundreds of poems will blacken its pages which will be used, as well as the music of tools, for its artistic development.
His painting will go up from his interior to be visionary, surrealist and creative, harmonious, where shapes and colors will challenge our eyes. Alternative medicine for our hearts.
Sculptor, he will work in all materials and even the ephemeral snow, ice. He will create the Armétal, the "VIV'ART" and "VIVART'S" art of recovering old mechanical parts, old tools, old objects which are no longer used to make figurative or super modern sculptures, the beginning of an adventure artistic salvage art that others have since taken over and that's good,
also to give a status of work of art to its achievements. The exhibitions follow one another, his rating asserts itself, the magazines speak of him, of his art. It is emulated. It is a new artistic movement.
