Yves Braun

Filter or prism are the usual scriptures of the glass sculpture and the means to play the score of a visual game with the light flows. The fluorescent sculptures by Yves Braun escape this reading and offer a fresh look at a quality of light and on the cutting of colors. Associated with the glass, fluorescence challenges by its novelty, but above all by its impossible nature because it is a light revealed by matter. This is another language, carrying a new poetry of light. The sculptures of Yves Braun invite abandonment of the look in this elusive and the experience of an impossible journey, towards this mythical and marvelous dismissal where the material fades and tells its light ... "... Here light transcends the real and brings us to a mystical dimension which refers to the cosmogonies in which it is at the origin of creation and life." - Laurent Subra, director of the museum/Center d'Art du Verre de Carmaux
