MASK COLLECTION This vast collection of masks explores the unpredictable and fascinating expressions of imaginary faces. Laughter, fatigue, sadness, complacency, anger Mirrors of our own emotions and frames of mind, Junior Fritz Jacquet s masks make us laugh as often as they make us cry. Each mask is a unique work of art and is formed from a simple toilet paper roll. These original folding techniques were developed by the artist himself. His models are given a patina and lacquered with various pigments. DECORATIVE ART FOR THE IMAGINATION This model is created from a single piece of paper, THE BONHOMME is given a resin patina, and is then lacquered CANELLE in different colors. A whimsical figure, Bonhomme Canelle evokes the playful and spontaneous part of each of us. His movements are like his spirit: real, funny, talkative. Full of energy, he roars with laughter, takes off in a sprint, crashes out of breath, taps his foot incessantly. Tired, he leans back, chats nonchalantly and finally nods off to sleep. This model is created from a single piece of cardboard, is given a resin patina. THE NATURALS The naturals transport us back to our beginnings the ground, the earth, nature, our roots. Like a painting, these models tell Man s story, and recount his battles, his dreams, his desire for freedom and his chains. Oznoon, a expressive collection of luminous sculptures, was created by the artist Junior Fritz Jacquet. Lightness, finesse, mystery - these sculptures elicit an infinite number of emotions that speak to our imagination and inspire our daily life. Oznoon is also a rare metamorphosis of paper - each model playing with different shapes, folds, creases, shadows and light. Created from wax paper, Oznoon creations are eco-design, and reminiscent of natural forms.
