planks, boxes & impressions
gabriel yacoub always felt a strong curiosity for customs, rites and superstitions of all nature
with malicorne, he pursued a research on traditional country songs, this naturally drove him towards the magic aspect of this culture
apart from his personal musical research, gabriel is fascinated by legends, myths and ancients beliefs, he collects tales, testimonies, as well as objects linked to this domain
for many years, gabriel had been spending some of his time in the old province of le berry
he found there the repertoire of music and tradition that had been his main source of inspiration since then
most of the objects that can be found in gabriel's boxes come from there
the planks, often mentioning dates, are inspired by historical events, real legendary people, or simply visions of the artist inspired by his passion for the symbols, esoteric rites, magic, white or black
the planks combine art and craft including different technics, recovered materials, textures, collage, painting...
the french "surréaliste" art movement used to "can", or close in a box, simple objects of the everyday life
gabriel yacoub's boxes are filled with either leftovers, and neglected little things, or with elements that primitive, or modern culture ritualized and made sacred by men's passion, fears, or pure imagination
objects have strong values for generating superstition and materialize their natural quest for symbols
boxes, hermetic and limpid
the magic of found objects, with no illusion
