Biography: Bourlier’s figures stand strong, erect, and emergent. They seek to be individual, characters with form and life, yet remain simple, pluck-skinned, almost basic. The figures are assertive, with clear and subtle-strong presence, definite. They have chosen the essential in form. Bourlier has been fascinated by driftwood since his time on Normandy beaches in 1995. The driftwood is not selected by the artist, rather, it chooses its time. It co-opts him, urges him to create these figures, to sculpt the allusive, unexpected silhouette.
