Maen Florin – <\/strong>Place Royale<\/strong><\/p>\n

Construite en 1865, la fontaine de la Place Royale est \u00e9rig\u00e9e pour symboliser la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique de la Ville. Les angelots juch\u00e9s sur des dauphins et crachant de l’eau au travers de coquillages, symbolisent les huit g\u00e9nies de l’industrie et du commerce et rappellent ainsi le r\u00f4le majeur du port de Nantes dans l’\u00e9conomie de la cit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Domin\u00e9e par sa statue d\u2019Amphitrite, d\u00e9esse de la mer, la fontaine de la Place Royale est un monument embl\u00e9matique de la Ville de Nantes qui rassemble.
\nInvit\u00e9e \u00e0 r\u00e9aliser une installation in\u00e9dite pour la fontaine de la Place Royale, Maen Florin a r\u00e9agi \u00e0 sa symbolique maritime.<\/p>\n

Quel monument \u00e9rigerait-on aujourd\u2019hui pour symboliser le r\u00f4le et l\u2019importance de la mer ?
\nDe nos jours, la mer n\u2019est plus le symbole du voyage et de la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 des 19\u00e8me<\/sup> et 20\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle ; le voyage \u00e9voque la migration voulue ou contrainte, la pollution, l\u2019engendrement de mutations \u00e9cologiques et sociales fortes.<\/p>\n

Entre vision et exp\u00e9rience, Maen Florin tente de projeter sur la fontaine l\u2019image nouvelle d\u2019un monde en transformation.
\nD\u2019un \u00e0 deux m\u00e8tres d\u2019envergure chacune, une vingtaine de sculptures en c\u00e9ramique se r\u00e9fugient dans les bassins de la fontaine, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de ses figures all\u00e9goriques en bronze.
\nCes singuliers personnages colonisent ce nouveau lieu, \u00e9chappant aux transformations et menaces du monde et cherchant protection aupr\u00e8s de ce monument symbole de pouvoir et de prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9.
\nNouvelles ic\u00f4nes, ces cr\u00e9atures fantasmagoriques symbolisent les mutations engendr\u00e9es par l\u2019Homme menant \u00e0 des transformations radicales des milieux.<\/p>\n

Leur aspect anthropomorphe avec des traits humains, animaux et v\u00e9g\u00e9taux leur procure une forme d\u2019\u00e9tranget\u00e9. Ces corps m\u00e9tamorphos\u00e9s paraissent transfigur\u00e9s dans leur \u00e9crin.
\nOn y rencontre des personnages mi-poulpe mi-humain, mi-algue mi-sir\u00e8ne, des animaux coquillages, une bulle sur des pattes qui transporte un visage, des coquillages m\u00eal\u00e9s \u00e0 des m\u00e9duses, des oiseaux ou des coraux, des tentacules m\u00eal\u00e9es \u00e0 des algues.
\nLes formes sont expressives et sobres \u00e0 la fois, les gla\u00e7ures de teintes vives rappellent les couleurs des fonds marins profus et se d\u00e9tachent de mani\u00e8re tr\u00e8s forte dans l\u2019environnement urbain.<\/p>\n

Au contraire des sculptures r\u00e9alis\u00e9es ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es par l\u2019artiste qui se concentraient exclusivement sur les visages masculins, les formes de ces sculptures sont f\u00e9minines et protectrices, symbolisant la force nourrici\u00e8re, enveloppante et maternelle de la mer.<\/p>\n

Ces personnages se liqu\u00e9fient, semblant vouloir se fondre dans des \u00e9l\u00e9ments v\u00e9g\u00e9taux et animaux. Comme toujours dans les figures de Maen Florin, on peut d\u00e9celer chez eux une forme de fragilit\u00e9 et de souffrance face au monde, mais la force de la mati\u00e8re, du geste de sculpture et des couleurs g\u00e9n\u00e9reuses qui caract\u00e9risent l\u2019\u0153uvre de l\u2019artiste en font \u00e9galement des personnages beaux, puissants, et porteurs d\u2019une vision bienveillante sur le monde.<\/p>\n

Maen Florin est n\u00e9e en 1954. Elle vit et travaille \u00e0 Schelderode pr\u00e8s de Gand en Belgique.<\/em><\/p>\n
