le Capitaine de l'Espace (2024) Sculpture by Eaz

I am a child of the Dorothée club, I was in front of my TV when Goldorak appeared and his friends followed him. I dreamed and grew up with them. I also spent long hours with my Lego and my Big Jim to make and invent adventures in my room, the living room or outside, I shaped my universe.

After many years of creating and making in the world of toys, entertainment, decoration, I wanted to find this part of my childhood, the toys that I would have liked to have as a kid. Not finding satisfaction in the specialized stores, I decided to create my ideal versions ... By mixing and transforming the cartoon heroes and the little characters with which I played, I managed to create my ideal character. And even though I am still a dreamy child, I grew up and my character also had to be bigger.

    Being a visual artist, I sculpted the different parts of my master model. Mastering the art of resin, molding and painting, I made the silicone molds, cast my pieces in resin and gave life to my versions of my heroes.

    The juxtaposition of styles was natural and my childhood came back to me. My large articulated and unique figurines allowed me to those long hours of carefree playing and inventing. These feelings during the ritual that was the unique broadcast on a fixed day and time of each new episode, sharing it the next day with friends at school, replaying the episode during recess... These wonderful memories come back immediately when we see these characters again, there are flashes, smells, places, seasons that we feel right away. Explain to your children the universes that we discovered and that made us travel in time and space. That these heroes are always there deep inside us, let them come back to remind us of these happy days of games and adventures.
