Through stone imprints and the drawings of anthropomorphic beings he deciphers on their surface, Quentin Parant uses drawing, engraving and sculpture as spiritual exercises that lead him to another way of seeing, another way of thinking, in the acceptance of the enigma - the gaze of a blind stone. For him, there's a whole world out there, invisible at first glance, that it's essential to discover and translate.
to discover and translate. Thousands, millions or billions of little men walk the vast domain of seemingly inanimate stones.
Quentin Parant deciphers the language of matter and transcribes it into a multitude of characters - letters of a supernatural alphabet - to transform the apparent inertia of a surface into a deep, living substance.
