ABOUT VINCENT'S WORK
Vincent Fecteau is a sculptor whose deceptively intricate, abstract pieces provoke thoughtful reflection as their challenging forms make the viewer aware of the act of perception. Though modest in scale and constructed from humble, unassuming materials, such as papier-mâché and cardboard, Fecteau’s sculptures reward close and extended looking. He takes a slow and contemplative approach to his craft, giving careful consideration to how sculptural elements—mass and volume, solid and void, color and texture—fuse to establish surprising configurations that compel the viewer to deepen and prolong one’s engagement with the object.

In three series of untitled works from 2008, 2010, and 2012 made primarily from papier-mâché and painted in odd yet alluring combinations of color, irregular exteriors conceal and reveal corresponding interior spaces. The pieces cohere into balanced forms even as they seem to hover on the verge of instability. Their undulations emphasize the handmade (as opposed to machine-produced) nature of the works, and the sculptures’ various twists and swerves, which move between elegance and ungainliness, convey a subtle visual humor as they flirt with notions of decoration. In a recent body of work from 2015, Fecteau incorporates collaged paper elements into quasi-architectural scenarios that are charged with spatial ambiguity and a theatrical sense of drama. Fecteau’s concern with perceptual experience extends to the display of his work as well. The untitled pieces from 2010, for instance, are intended to be mounted on the wall rather than on pedestals and can be rotated and reversed to offer multiple presentations of their surfaces and spaces.

The results are both captivating and demanding; as viewers work to understand what they are seeing, they find themselves at the threshold between visual perception and objective knowledge of three-dimensional space. In this way, Fecteau imbues his work with philosophical content, just as the work assumes psychological dimensions through its uncanny correspondences with the human body. In our age of ever-increasing distraction, Fecteau’s sculpture offers a place for the sustained experience of thought and observation to unfold and flourish.

关于Vincent的作品
Vincent Fecteau是一位雕塑家，他的作品看似复杂、抽象，却能引起人们的深思，因为他们具有挑战性的形式让观众意识到感知的行为。虽然规模不大，而且用不起眼的材料建造，如纸糊和纸板，但Fecteau的雕塑值得仔细和长时间观察。他对他的工艺采取了缓慢和沉思的方法，仔细考虑雕塑元素--质量和体积、固体和空隙、颜色和纹理--如何融合以建立令人惊讶的配置，迫使观众加深和延长对物体的参与。

在2008年、2010年和2012年的三个系列的无标题作品中，这些作品主要由纸浆制成，并涂以奇怪但诱人的颜色组合，不规则的外表隐藏并显示出相应的内部空间。这些作品凝聚成平衡的形式，即使它们似乎在不稳定的边缘徘徊。它们的起伏强调了作品的手工（而不是机器生产）性质，而雕塑的各种扭曲和转弯，在优雅和不雅之间移动，传达了一种微妙的视觉幽默，因为它们与装饰的概念调情。在2015年的最新作品中，Fecteau将拼贴的纸张元素融入到准建筑场景中，充满了空间的模糊性和戏剧感。Fecteau对感知体验的关注也延伸到了他的作品的展示上。例如，2010年的未命名的作品，旨在安装在墙上，而不是基座上，可以旋转和扭转，以提供其表面和空间的多种展示。

其结果既吸引人又要求高；当观众努力理解他们所看到的东西时，他们发现自己处于视觉感知和三维空间的客观知识之间的门槛。通过这种方式，Fecteau给他的作品注入了哲学内容，就像作品通过与人体的不可思议的对应关系而具有心理层面一样。在我们这个日益分心的时代，费托的雕塑为思想和观察的持续体验提供了一个展开和繁荣的场所。
