Philippe Charbonneau was in 1936 in Vendée. After a professional career of draughtsman in architecture, he began his research in the field of space and geometry to extend and enrich his former architectural activities and with an unavowed attraction for monumental realizations. His research are directed mainly towards regulated surfaces of the third degree or paradoxical as the Möbius strip. All curves, they are somehow always generated by lines. From simple principle, they determine complex forms and volumes which destabilize and enrich our direction in space. Concepts as banal as faces, above, below, interior, outside, can lose in it their ordinary meaning. |
