PETIT Marc, sculpture, permanent artist of Galerie Capazza since 2014

“The relationship with time is at the very heart of this sculpture,as a prevalent obsession. The connection with archaeology and with the origin of sculpture is one of the paths followed by this obsession with time. But, if it is obvious that their apparent incomplete or half-destroyed state suggests the passage of millennia, if the schematization of the figures makes us remember now-defunct civilizations, most of

Petit’s works compel us to think of time far more severely and directly”.

Philippe Dagen, 2011.

“Everything reverberates with a scream, a long uninterrupted scream of which the

bronze is no longer but an echo that has lost its mouth. If there is any gentleness, it is in the after-cry. And in the silence in which it is shared. It is a time after tears have been shed, when the world has become dry once more and the only thing left to do is to comb the earth, looking for the shapes of the people we once loved”.

Ollivier Pourriol, 2013.

Biography

Marc Petit was born in June 27th, 1961 in Saint-Céré (Lot).

It is in Cahors where he spends his childhood, that he realizes his first sculptures from the age of 14 years old. He goes alongside to two sculptors, former alumni of the Fine arts school of Paris, which correct regularly his work: René Fournier teaches him the bases of the modeling and passes on to him the education of Marcel Gimond

Jean Lorquin, first great prize of Rome brings him his vision, his knowledge but also a true reflection on sculpture.

At the age of 24, he presents his first personal exhibition in Villeneuve sur Lot.
