"The whole of my work is an imaginary herbarium, a collection of organic forms, very inspired by nature." - Guillaume Castel

Galerie Ariane C-Y is exhibiting a Dulse by Guillaume Castel. A dulse refers to an algae. Guillaume Castel dives in apnea and observes the underwater flora. In the ocean, his eye is caught by the reflections of sunlight on the surface of the algae. The sculpture is not intended to be a literal reproduction of the plant, but rather a poetic evocation. The interior faces are lacquered in blue-green, a color called glãz, an obvious aquatic reference. In Breton, glãz refers to the changing color of the sea from blue to green, passing through all shades of emerald. The opaque or transparent liquid mass offers the light infinite reflection games. The contrast between the color and the raw aspect of Corten steel constitutes the chromatic signature of the artist. Dulse stands out as a major series of the artist. The general structure takes up the characteristics of Guillaume Castel's works. Dulse rests balanced on its edges. This self-supporting character allows monumental versions placed in the landscape or city. Guillaume Castel emphasizes the playful aspect of this series, resulting from a game of assembling organic forms explored over several years.

In 2019, Guillaume Castel executed two public commissions, one for the city of Tournefeuille and another for a museum in Brittany. The two 1.90m Dulces were presented at the Métamorphose exhibition in 2021 at the Domaine départemental de la Roche-Jagu. In 2023, one was presented in Évreux and another at Mascaret, at the Orangerie du Sénat, in the Jardin du Luxembourg. Presented by Galerie Ariane C-Y.
