Yves DANA

O

f ze nu gemaakt zijn van ijzer, gips of steen, de volumes die Yves Dana creëert zijn tekens. Tekens van leven, tekens van tijd. Zijn onderzoekingen leiden hem, leiden hem naar dit essentiële, dat gelukkig voor ons zijn deel van mysterie en aantrekkingskracht behoudt. Hiëratisch of barok aandoend, mengsels van materialen of zuiver, zijn deze werken matrijzen en vruchten. De natuurelementen, vuur, water, aarde en lucht zijn de grondslagen van zijn universum. Zijn beeldhouwwerken zijn evenveel noten die hij plaatst om ons bewust te maken van de krachten die ons omringen. Als stenen monolieten katalyseren zijn werken energieën en kalmeren ze de geesten. De zuiverheid van de lijnen, de eenvoud van de rondingen temmen de blik en geven haar de gelegenheid om even te rusten.
