Pentateuque by Fabien Mérelle

'Impressive'is a word that describe artist Fabien Merelle sculpture, Pentateuque. The French artist's work brings one of his painting to life, a man balancing the weight of the world on his shoulders (the weight represented by the elephant). As you can see from the photos above (dont forget to scroll!), the attention to detail is stunning - everything from the elephant skin's texture, the man's slightly hairy arms and legs, to the texture of the clothing the man is wearing is meticulously made to look realistic. The character's expression, the two's body language, not to mention the absurdity of a man balancing an elephant on his back, gives Pentateuque a very lighthearted, almost comical feel to it. Pentateuque was shown at 2013 art stage singapore exhibition at the marina bay sands.

Recently having an exhibition in London's Haunch of Venison, Nowness had the opportunity to interview mr. Parla and what we get is this insightful video. In "Broken Languages", Parla guides the audience through his creative process, explaining  site-specific works to how he interprets and references the environments into his work. A good, pretty inspirational piece. Enjoy.
