EDMOND DUBRUNFAUT - LA TERRE EN FLEUR

SOME CULTURE...

Wall tapestries, ceramics and glazed enamelled steel plating (1985)

The artist took inspiration from UNESCO’s recommendation: “Let us save all species, because there is a great threat to nature, animals, trees,...”. The artist wanted people passing through Louise metro station to stop and think for a moment about the survival of all species. The technological forces which humans have created are now running more and more out of their control and the artist wants to warn the observer. He does this with the help of lines, colours and shapes: the earth, the pleasure of flowers and fruits, the unique value of the vegetable, animal and human worlds. On the tapestry and the ceramic panels, the theme and style unfold in the form of a rich vegetable and floral decoration which brings together humans and animals by tenderly joining all the signs of life between them.
