There are 70,000 individual ceramic vases in this one monumental sculpture byGregoire Scalabre.
In Greek mythology, Thetis is a sea nymph with extraordinary powers of transformation.
It is a free composition with no predetermined pattern, he says.
This is done instinctively by associating and juxtaposing shapes and colors from the palette collected during firing.
The pieces are organized, they interact with each other, and a language develops on the surface.
French artist Gregoire Scalabre created a large-scale sculpture entitledThe Final Metamorphoses of Thetis.
It is made up of 70,000 individual pieces of ceramics.
Each ceramic resembles a vase or amphora, with a long, slender neck.
Scalabre assembled each piece onto a resin-and-foam structure that measures 2 meters tall.
