Ethereal and mysterious, The Dark Side unfolds like a ghostly silhouette, oscillating between presence and disappearance.
Here, Laurence Van Baren creates a deer with contours sketched in the void, its wire frame forming a fragile, almost unreal specter. The head, carved from roe deer antler, anchors the animal in a raw materiality, a vestige of reality contrasting with the airy lightness of the metal structure.
Placed on a plaster-paper base, the work seems balanced between two worlds: that of nature and that of dreams, that of force and that of evanescence. A play of transparency and light that invites us to contemplate what lies behind appearances, in this shadowy zone where everything can be revealed.
