Simon Boudvin, La troisième calamité, 2017

Simon Boudvin’s work around grids took the form of photographs but also of drawings and texts. These creations highlight singular patterns made from identical graphic elements but variously assembled: basic geometric elements such as the rectangle, the rhombus and the circle.

Previous works by Simon Boudvin also testify to the intersection between art and architecture and a practice open to a multitude of mediums (photography, drawing, sculpture and texts), and materials (plaster, glass, natural materials, concrete, wood , iron …) The techniques, supports and social and cultural evolutions of architecture are addressed in the sculptural realization Tables 04 (Egleton) , dating from 2014, a set of concrete tables and benches cast in the earth, or in Ailanthus Altissima , a photographic and cartographic inventory in progress since 2011, of wild plants growing in the district where Simon Boudvin lives.
