The Gallery presented a set of bronze sculptures made by a French artist called Valérie Andrianoff. Val's artworks can be seen as a search for balance and stability as the title of this exhibition already suggested “The balance of life” (Byrs-Lasquier, nd). In the following, a few of her works will be selected to illustrate the type of ideas she is trying to express and how I feel about these sculptures. Most of the human figures Val creates are small. We rarely see their facial expression. Most people may not find them beautiful, but through the characters and their body movements, the artist's idea of ​​presenting balance is truly achievable. Like the two Little Round Table (Fig. 1 & 2), the figure is thin and slender which attempts to balance the body in a rotating or rotating table, echoing the name of this exhibition The Balance of Life. It seems that these two works of art are trying to show that people, in this rapidly changing and rotating world, must take the first step to seek balance when finding their own role. The movements of the two characters also resemble touching a surface of water and making it swirl, creating a special visual effect that is pleasing to the eye. Circle images appear quite frequently in Val's bronze sculptures. For example, Solitude (Fig. 3) shows a human being surrounded by a number of circles that appear to resemble our round-shaped world. This work of art gives the impression that the person is in their own mental world, without the presence of other people. As the name of this work suggests, this person is probably in a state of solitude and meditating in this rotating world. Solitude also creates a sense of balance when placing a small, thin figure on a strip of circle. Running through the middle of paper......human beings. Sometimes leaving reality and trying to meditate or think about our roles in the real world can be another type of psychotherapy to help us achieve balance in our lives.
