Cédric Plessiet has been working for many years on the design of digital tools and modeling processes.
As both a visual artist and designer, his technique becomes a way to materialize a poetic vision of reality.
Far from any technical/aesthetic duality, his works draw upon all available contributions.
His Surrealist and Pre-Raphaelite inspirations allow him to create a dreamlike — sometimes dark — universe that reflects sensations, emotions, and impressions.
The works created with the Kellynoïde have enabled him to develop, among other things, research on the transcription of appearance, biomechanical simulation, facial expression, and scenarization.
In a spirit of co-creation, the contributions of artist-model Kelly Mézino are manifold;
our exchanges are continuously enriched through shared visual ideas, emotions to express, and constant communication.
The Kellynoïde thus brings together two sensibilities and two ways of “making an image,” of “making an artwork.”
The “body-as-artwork”, as understood by both artists, becomes a means of exploring a different kind of expressivity — a fusion between rendering, aestheticization, and evocation — highlighting the interplay between the intimate and the extimate.
For Kelly Mézino, whose background lies in the performing arts, the relationship with the audience’s reception remains a central part of the creative process.
