Talek Chañ Klaod

Just cross the step to enter the workshop of Chañ Klaod Talek, where the scents of spruce, yew, redwoods, like so many other species from here or elsewhere, to measure the almost carnal relationship of the sculptor, with the wood, the forest or, more likely, with the elemental forces of nature. A man of the landscape, of the country like his workshop open to the trees, the water or the stone.

Very quickly, to see the exchanges between the finished but living sculptures, with the modest sketches aligned like an army of the shade, one conceives that this place is haunted and is deserved...

The work plural presents itself, exhibits itself of monumental or intimist. But always the artist invites the glance to the depth, to cross the edge of the forms... The wood, the stone and the metal conspired in aesthetic and symbolic balances that form a solid framework and that foment the interrogation, the imaginary.

What is to be seen in the veins of worked wood?

A bird, a woman's body or a devouring flame?

Or the fullness of silence?

No figuration, no abstraction, the chisel works the plastic suggestion, the emotion, the spirituality which guides the desire or the absence.

Vivid works attract the caress and stir up the big questions...

From what country, from what mental climate does a work of art come?

Chañ Klaod Talek does not reveal any secret, but inscribes in reality the alchemy of the creative art.
