Communiqués de presse Lo Monaco Wellness Showcases Jacques Philippe Hébert Artworks at Florence Biennale

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Montréal, Québec, Canada, 11/09/2009 - Lo Monaco Wellness, whose mission is to combine Wellness with Decor for harmonious living, is proud to present Jacques Philippe Hébert artworks at the 2009 Florence Biennial International Contemporary Art Exhibition, from December 5th trough 13th.

The "Soul of Glass" art pioneer, who composes his works through the use of Murano glass and whose artworks conquered already New Yorkers' hearts, will showcase his very innovative paintings with 3-dimensional glass-fusing techniques.

Jacques Philippe Hébert removes organic forms from their environment and redefines them through the fervor of his art. The familier shapes of fora, the human body, minerais and deep-ocean lite are transformed in a kiln at high temperatures and elevated to a level where they exist provocatively on the edge of abstraction. Colors in Hebert's works seethe as light itself is captured within the glass' magnifying qualities and primordial bubbles. Even his liquid-blue oceans hum with cherry-red veins. "His artwork is like lite, colorful and unexpected, which aller Lime, begins to take its own shape. Glass is used but it is not glass art. A canvas is painted but it is not pictorial art. A three-dimensional aspect is inevitable but it is not a sculpture. So what should it be?" - Excerpt from "Jacques Hébert. Soul of Glass", Parcours Art et Art de vivre (Magazine), Autumn, 2005 —
