Villa Datris

For its 12th exhibition in 2022, the Villa Datris Foundation continues the exploration of ancestral knowledge revisited by contemporary creation, with Toucher Terre, the Art of ceramic sculpture echoing the exhibition Tissage Tressage in 2018 .

Working with clay is in essence the art that comes from Mother Earth, an original art that reconnects to the heart of the energies of nature.

In its most elaborate forms, it results from the interaction of the four elements: earth, water, fire and air.

More than any other form of creation, the work of clay is hand to hand with man, tactile contact and the imprint of the artist's hand. It is generated with sensuality, it is an art that takes flesh, and unfolds in an almost limitless plasticity. This art is indeed “plastic” in the etymological sense of the term: “suitable for modelling”, which invites you to “shape, model”.
