Stage de dessin et de sculpture d’après modèle vivant

J’ai le plaisir de co-animer, à Lausanne, dans l’atelier Artiloft, un workshop immersif consacré à l’étude du corps et du portrait, en collaboration avec mon ami Bertrand Godefroy. Pendant cinq jours, nous explorerons les liens entre regard, geste et matière : deux jours dédiés au dessin d’après modèle vivant pour affiner l’observation, les proportions et la compréhension des volumes, puis trois jours pour prolonger cette expérience en sculpture, en modelant un portrait dans la terre.

Ce stage s’adresse à toutes et tous, quel que soit le niveau de pratique, et invite à approfondir son expression artistique dans une atmosphère attentive, exigeante et inspirante.
