PHILIPPE HIQUILY : \u00ab DIRECT METAL \u00bb, BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERNITY<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

In the early 20th century, metal sculpture imposed its technical and aesthetic qualities over bronze\u2019s noble ancestry. The sculptors who privileged the medium of metal increased its attributes with the language of their time.<\/p>\n

The technique that Hiquily made his own was now inseparable from his style. Metal\u2019s intrinsic qualities brought the stylistic answers Hiquily was seeking. Its toughness, ductility, malleability and resistance allowed him to approach sculpture from several different angles : line, surface and volume. He realised that volume in space is more important than volume in the mass and is a constituent part of the sculpture. He also saw that the solidity of its physical presence in space made for a tangible approach. Hiquily used assemblage to create spatial volumes and to write in space. By organising planes and volumes, lines of force, their orientation and the resulting equilibrium, a sculpture needed to be a solid construction with a well defined form. A form whose harmonious necessity came from life.<\/p>\n

Another feature of his sculpture is the frontality that derived from his aban- donment of volume in favour of a graphic inscription that would have suf- ficient volume for the form to be explained. He used oxy-acetylene or direct welding to join the pieces together, a procedure that works by heating both sides up to a molten state. It requires an inventive, ever-watchful frame of mind and also an artisan\u2019s qualities of workmanship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
