Australian-born, French-raised artistGil Bruvelexplores these feelings of serenity with his ever-growing collection of wooden sculptures.
Each large-scale, wall-mounted piece depicts a face with the subjects eyes closed, seemingly deep in thought.
Bruvels most recent works are a reminder of what it looks like to be centered and at peace.
“Breathe,” 2020
In particular,The Mask Seriesexplores the artists 40-year experience practicing vipassana meditation.
Comprising countless painted wooden sticks, each of Bruvels sculptures looks like a 3D pixelated image of a face.
Up close, the squares and rectangular shapes appear as a variegated jumble of wood.
“Floating,” 2019
Even the back of each piece is an important part of the artists message.
Appearing even more pixelated and disarranged, the backs of the sculptures represent the abstract workings of the mind.
Through his work, Bruvel invites viewers to contemplate their inner selves.
“Moonlight” 2019
