About:
Ernest Breleur’s work is extensive, rich and varied. It comprises several periods. He is recognised by many for his qualities as a painter, formerly with the group “Fwomagé”, and then with his mythological moon, floating bodies and white series, to name but a few. Ernest Breleur’s work has always been prolific and he often creates series; he seeks openness and modernity. He definitively stopped painting in 1992. Since this turning point, Ernest Breleur has continued to be a unique artist with a new material, X-rays and very gradually conceived his approach to sculpture. He takes a broad look at aesthetical and ethical questions that are to him fundamental regarding their relationship with the power of globalisation.
L’ enigme du désir, 2017
Since 2013 he has returned to drawing. Having always questioned death, he has changed perspective and has been questioning life through his series l’Origine du monde and L’énigme du désir. Returning to sculpture at the end of 2015 with the series Le vivant, passage par le feminine he is developing a series of sculptures fuelled by this break spent drawing.
