"Contemporary relief sculpture is familiar to me because my grandfather Jean Peyrissac, a painter and sculptor of the modern era, created his first reliefs in wood, metal and rope in the 1920s.
Sophie Garralon's work immediately appealed to me because of the freedom of the materials and colors. While the geometric shapes used, cones, spheres, and pentagonal pyramids, are those of the early moderns, the composition is completely different because Sophie doesn't build or accumulate; she arranges according to the shadows cast. "I make form and content interact," she says. I'm also very sensitive to the quality of the implementation. The artist succeeds in instantly capturing the viewer's eye and sending them back to dreamlike visions. Sophie also seeks to awaken the emotions of the child we all carry within ourselves."
