A man who shies away from the spotlight, he lets his objects speak on his behalf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The arch of a marble cabinet or the silhouette of a <i>Jarre<\/i> table, seemingly destined to exist <i>ad vitam aeternam<\/i>, evoke a childhood spent in Poitou among Romanesque churches. He began as a self-taught artist, welding all his early pieces himself\u2014his urban, raw, rock\u2019n\u2019roll period, marked by the rhythmic pulse of his hammer. When Schmitt strips away all ornamentation, he does so through the lens of balance\u2014or the illusion of its loss\u2014with folded bronze tables and consoles paired with materials that contrast against the rigidity of metal. And yet, he can never resist a curve. A utopian, tirelessly searching for his own vocabulary of form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Fontainebleau Forest, which spills into his workshop, inspires free organic shapes\u2014a symbolized nature present in his series of tree stumps and bronze rocks. Schmitt always moves within chiaroscuro: light and density, the fusion of past and future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As Cocteau once said, \u201ceverything fashionable goes out of fashion,\u201d and it\u2019s always bold to call something timeless\u2014but Eric Schmitt\u2019s creations strive toward that very category. Almost indestructible, they resemble relics of a civilization yet to be imagined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24462,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","footnotes":""},"categorias-profesionales":[1324,1326],"class_list":["post-30292","profesionales","type-profesionales","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorias-profesionales-artists","categorias-profesionales-designers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/30292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profesionales"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/30292\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categorias-profesionales","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categorias-profesionales?post=30292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
