More details
In his studio he uses everything that comes from that secret world of fallen plants. He has the power to dissolve time and acts above all as a watchdog for the memory of forgotten worlds.
Numerous solo and group exhibitions have been held around the world.
Some press extracts
"...Jephan de Villiers pursues a work that is as much the work of an artist as a meditation on the origins and futures of the world. Totems, legendary bestiaries or
processions of shadows and silences, the sculptor's effigies and objects call to
The universe of souls that sings in us when we remember that everything is envied by the earth and that everything returns to it, so that the infinite cycle of life is accomplished... Stronger than fragile, denser than beautiful, this work is a true gift of an artist. The song of a man..." Roger Pierre Turine, La Libre Belgique
"...Where are we, at the limits of which "edge of the world" which, if it speaks to us undoubtedly about childhood and ecosystem, is so far from ordinary sentimentalism, from the received ideas on the perdition of the planet that it is a tour de force...". Danièle Gillemon, Le Soir
"The artist seeks, by questioning the spirit of the place, the traces of an imaginary civilisation that he has baptised "Arbonie" ... He has invented the "Arboglyphs" script. The beauty of the inks thrown on the paper in the spontaneity of the gesture, accompanies his quest for the writings of nature..." Christophe Lucet, Sud Ouest newspaper
"...the universe inspired by Jephan de Villiers is not only inhabited, but also strangely alive... Organised in procession or grouped in strange funeral convoys, they mourn the disappearance of the great trees. Harry Bellet, Le Monde
