Jacques Banne

Add I would like to write about: What is art for me and describe to you what I do. I think we have our origins in ourselves. I think we all exist as a collective memory, just we are not completely conscious of it. Throughout history, civilizations have relied on a visual art to convey and spread ideas, often producing art of timeless quality. Today Art is seeking new ways of expression. A sculpture can be made by a machine according to ones directives. So one must find his own unique way of expressing his feelings. If I feel "small", I create small things, miniatures. We are artists and so we have special rights and a certain prerogative, all we need to do is to be ourselves and to create as best as we can. Even if we have to pay for to realize our art ( with hunger and with tear we will do our art, there is no other possibility, this is our reason d'etre, art and life mixt up to be one ) that is the imperative demand of ART, of any art.! We are not like all people, , we think differently, that is our nature and that is our raison d'etre on this blessed earth;. free as a bird and slaved as Sisyphus, The feeling of creation is so strong, we forget all our suffering. Yes the feeling of creation is so strong, you forget your pain and your distress. The creation is a moment of up-rising, and of freedom you can do what you want to do, you are the sole and unique master of your art. With me is a little different, My thinking is abstract and it takes me to materialize idea, The very famous Mobius with its mysteries is an example. When you appreciate ART, first of all you either like it or not, after that, You have to look for the Quality of the work, How you know and what you know comes from your artistic cultural inherit age, You look at the "Maitrise" how much you are master in your art and of your work, you look at the aesthetics, and finally at the subject.


Mobius Rings. What more common than a circle? Mobius is a ribbon without start and without end, go take yourself in hand and do it, first challenge, Second challenge in wood, Third challenge in maple which is a half hard wood, you imagine - the thoughts and the work invested Mobius Ring?? It is the mathematics name of what I described above a ribbon without start and without end Mobius: "Mobius" 4x4x0.9+1.4 cm less than 3 grams in wood in the hard maple...

My son [9 years than] said to me once: "my father works with head and heart his hands are just tools and i is true"
Art is good or not good, you love it or not.
Yes I love life.
I was always happy to be among the living all my life I feel that my life is a gift to me My creation is a joy for me and hope it is a joy for you too..
I love working, drinking, people, listening to music, listening to people telling me their story; I am a good listener I am a Well where you throw your story or a wall who listens I do not critic and answer questions only when asked I am first of all an artist chemically and physically.
ART FOR ME IS VERY IMPORTANT
Without my art I am nothing.
Without my art I can't live and my life would be empty and very sad. Without art I can't imagine life. Albert Camus called that "Solitaire/Solidaire" - in loneliness and in solidarity. The meaning of that is an Artist must be solitaire = lonely to create but lives in solidarity with all the society member
