EURYDICE, Déesse de la Forêt, tombe sous le charme d'ORPHEE
et de sa lyre envoûtante.
Le jour de leur mariage EURYDICE se fait mordre par un serpent
et meurt instantanément.
ORPHEE descendit aux enfers chercher sa bien aimée, après qu'ADES
le Dieu des Morts lui pose la condition de ne pas se retourner avant
d'avoir atteint le Monde des Vivants.
Près du but, ORPHEE pris de doute se retourne et ainsi perdit sa belle à jamais.
Francis Godefroit is a contemporary French sculptor. Godefroit's sculptures, which have a hyper realism of a rediscovered Antique sensuality and could be described as a contemporary neoclassical style due to their Greco-Roman inspiration and use of modern or even trivial materials.
The origin of this style is symbolized by the fiercely contemporary association of graphic, flat representation, supporting a third dimension detaching itself from its gangue. Mythology, as a dreamlike support for the artist's inspiration, brings back to life the myths that fascinated us as children, in a completely new form, and thereby resurrects our childhood fantasies. The creation that becomes our recreation and revisits historical legends in order to reincarnate them in our soul is born from this artistic chimera.
Francis Godefroit was born in 1952, in France.
