Dual Condition

The human being invented by Jean-Louis Corby seems to lead a so asexual and “empty” existence. It is represented in its duplicity, strength, subtlety, lack of freedom or emotional way of escaping from the slings and arrows imposed on it, its triumphs, its universal yet at the same time personal and unique plastic language that seizes each of us in our innermost consciousness. A way of carving out the duality of the human condition.

According to Hugo Brutin — AICA — each contact of any length with one or more of Jean-Louis’s works is a highly individual experience: like passing something by if one doesn’t watch out, which goes without saying, or being struck by a movement, a shape, a sense of rhythm, a detail, a symbol. In that case, one would not be able to form an assessment based on the opinion of someone else, because both the detail — hands and feet — and the abstract nature — rhythm in general — or the composition of shapes assume or provoke an entirely personal point of view.
