Pigmented cement on foam panels. Structural and hanging frame on the back

Auville works with construction cement. Applying techniques used in the construction and ship building industries, he spreads the cement over Ursalite (high-density foam panels), creating pieces ranging in size from one to eight square meters.

4 Carrés ("4 squares") consist of four panels of cement pigmented with charcoal, carved before it fully dries.  

The drying process offers a short moment when cement is neither liquid nor solid. At this point in time, it is carved and scratched. Once dry, it shows a smoothened image of what was carved.
