I'm Ides Parmentier
Artist and Sculptor
Based in Denmark, working with wood, metal and found objects.
In the current series of sculptures I’m exploring the friction between the organic and the synthetic. I’m questioning our relationship to technology, the future of that relationship, and what collective future our unexamined behavior might lead us to.
The way my creative output ended up where it is now, in a way flowed out of the materials I’m working with.
It felt right that through my metalworking skills, with the metal, found objects, plastic, etc. I would represent the technological, the synthetic, the artificial, the robotic, as one side of things. And on the other side, through my woodworking skills, with wood I would represent the organic, nature, life, human and other creatures.
In this series I explore the relationships, the juxtapositions, the conflicts and co-operations between these two sides, as they make a weird whole, forever in tension.
If you have any inquiries about any of my work, or if you have any specific needs or wishes that you think my skills can help you with, or if you have thoughts, comments, or feelings you’d like to share after visiting my website, I’d love to hear about it, so don’t hesitate to contact me.
