Leo Caillard’s timeless classical statues

-
Tommaso Berra
Leo Caillard | Collater.al

The material is white Carrara marble, the appearance is that of the statues that decorated Greek and Roman temples, but the suggestion is that of works that do not belong to an ancient era, but to a way of the future, imagined by the artist Leo Caillard.
The Wave Stone series tells of our relationship with time and the difficulty of defining its boundaries, both in everyday life and in art. The uncertainty towards the passage of time typical of our age is rendered by the Paris-based artist through the deformation of stone into waves that make the hard material fluid.

The digital age is now reflected in the restlessness and speed with which images are reproduced.
Leo Caillard’s works live in this era, creating glitches on the pillars of past eras. With messages disturbed by the lack of signal or the disconnection from the WiFi network. What remains is the certainty of the pedestal, which holds a fluid form on the point of breaking down at any moment, leaving rubble to mark the definitive abandonment of a past that is no longer relevant.
