Richard Woleck & Jean-Francois Bollié

Jean-François Bollie
Born in 1964, Jean-Francois Bollie is a French sculptor.
The artist uses a creation process that consist in taking off the material at first, to remake the piece. Simple and refined lines, and bright colors are characteristic of his work. His recurring subject, the human being, is limited to its simplest appearance in order to keep only the harmony of the lines.
With this lack of details, Jean-Francois Bollie approaches universal and abstract subjects such as love, human thinking and meditation. He gets particularly inspired by his daily life, that he spends in the beaches of the south of France, alone to meditate about human life.
His piece "The Diver" became a symbol all along the French Rivera, it is exposed in Nice and Cagnes.

Richard WOLECK
Named in 2012, "best artist of the year" in a competition organized by the champagne house Nicolas Feuillate, Richard WOLECK is a multidisciplinary artist. He made his debut in Nice as a musician. Singer and bassist of the group Plein Sud in the 1980s and then bassist of the group Pure, he has performed alongside international artists such as David Bowie.
Along with music, he develops an artistic reflection through urban paintings, superimposing and associating several materials. He incorporates new technologies and new media into his work, and portrays with a critical and humorous eye the Western world and its ideological or commercial springs.
Close to “Pop art” by resorting to globalized images, Richard Woleck revives in his own way the reflection on consumer society and the mass media. It highlights the disillusions of the modern world.
