Why is René Dhombres' work so particular ?
First, the plants used : not only leaves, flowers and seeds,
but also roots, vegetables' skins, planed wood, seaweeds collected in the sea and dried on the beach...
Then, the final aspect of the result is very close to paintings,
and most of people must be very close to the work todiscover this is made of plants ...
Finally, a specific process, kept secret, is necessary to ensure permanent conservation :
Plants are placed in two layers of glass, empty spaces are filled with a transparent resin,
All is heated between two layers of glass and then put in a glass frame...
