Damien HERMELLIN: portrait of a man in theater costume
watercolor
dimensions: 76 cm x 53 cm
Visible in Montauban by appointment only
In 1962, Damien Hermellin moved to Paris, attending classical and jazz dance classes regularly. He observes the dancers during rehearsals and creates drawings, paintings, and bronze sculptures with a brown patina for the School of Dance of the Paris National Opera. "I am a sculptor who draws, I study movement, I am fascinated by dance. I have created numerous costumes for large productions. I am 76 years old and I chose to settle in Montauban. I spent 50 years in Paris, I was fed up. I have very fond memories of Montauban in the 80s thanks to the dance festival created by Alain Marty. Then I became friends with François-Henri Soulié. He made me love and discover the city." François-Henri speaks of Hermellin's work: "It begins with a hanging. The sculptor erects a small gallows to which the figurine to be born will cling, as if the future lightness, the rise of the coming character, should not burst from the ground, but on the contrary give the impression of descending from the sky. Hermellin's bronze dancers seem to come from the invisible to suddenly appear in the metal that reveals them."
