Patrice Stellest - Trans Nature Art

Trans Nature Art

In 1994, Stellest illustrates the novel ‘Schwartzland’ by Ulrich Zieger, published by Qwert Zui Opü, before pulling back to work on his new projects. During this time, he works with the assistant of Jean Tinguely Martin Bühler, and the artist physicist Bernard Gitton on a new style of artworks carrying the message of protection of nature and the environment. The main sculpture of this movement is ‘The Solar Head”. Conceived to run on solar energy at its own rhythm, this sculpture is the first of a long series of interactive sculptures allying cutting edge technology and the artist’s new message. In 1999, Stellest presents his work as part of a new movement, which he names Trans Nature Art when he exhibits at the Palace of the Arts in Marseille, France. Soon after that, he exhibits his work at the castle of Beatrice de Andia, Head of the Paris Arts Council at an exhibition organized around the theme of nature. Eventually, in 2001, he is the guest of Palexpo, in Geneva, where he officially presents Trans Nature Art (TNA) to the world.

In 2011, Stellest comes back on the art scene by producing a 3D animated short film ‘Stellest Genesis’”, with dj Moby’s musical participation. He also illustrates Ulrich Zieger’s latest book ‘First visit to the refuge’” published by Rugerup Editions. Later that year, he is invited as the artist in residence” of the city of Joué-lès-Tours, in France, during May 2011.
