La Fraterie

« Having no known location; existing nowhere »

The French artistic duo as known as La Fratrie gathers two brothers, Karim and Luc Berchiche. In their creations, they invite us to explore a unique and extraordinary universe via their "rock-islands".
These mixed-media sculptures showcase formal and technical precision. Using silicone, silver, gold-leaf, iron, flocking, Karim and Luc become the craftsmen of a utopian world.
These aerial rocks equally constitute worlds of their own, being uprooted illusions of their place of origin. Such surrealistic and complex fictions introduce narrative, and often allegorical scenes. They also provide us with sources for real reflection upon the brevity and fragility of life.
