You may perceive in one of the artist's sculptures the shape of a head, in another one a sunken eye, and in a third one the elegance of the aerial curves of a winged creature: it is nonetheless the pure combination of formes that instils the dynamics in each one of them. That is the way Roland Delisle understands and applies the secret of artistic power. Alternating between low and high-relief, those art pieces also show surfaces with subtle colours. The patinas, reflecting the delicacy of his technique, display alternatively the beauty of oxidized green, dark loam or warm black. They also have various textures : cavities, stripes, wales, spots , etc.... Dull areas stand in contrast with polished surfaces, showing exposed bronze. Irregular cavities, denticulations, round or lanceolate reliefs, those spots of luminous bronze are as many elements that, in alternance with dull faces, contribute to the dynamics that adds to the formal intelligence of the sculptures.
