Marcoville │The glass forest

Marcoville is not strictly speaking a glassworker, but rather a versatile sculptor who uses carved-out, incised and painted glass to create a poetic and dreamlike world abounding with schools of fish and baobab forests, peopled with undulating geishas and provocative « nanas » (women). His monumental and figurative installations, counter-current to prevailing contemporary art trends, pull the viewer into a whirlpool of feelings of tenderness, humour and joie de vivre that is simply breathtaking.
