{"title":"Ambroise \u0026 Victor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an artist duo from Grenoble, France. They began their work in 2015, following a massive ink painting of an elephant at an art space in the suburbs of Paris. Starting from an animistic view of nature, which holds that all things are endowed with a soul, they perceive a universe residing within each animal, plant, and mineral. They expand this worldview beyond sketches to a diverse range of expressions, including sculptures, tapestries, and installations. Centered on the Chinese ink wash technique (lavis), and meticulously spending 600 hours on a single cow, they quietly bring to life the forms of living beings that cannot be reduced to function or role, while valuing a sensitivity to wonder (émerveillement) through their time-consuming handiwork. The idea that humans are also part of a small ecosystem connected to countless other lives underpins their creative process.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"a-v-2","title":"Ambroise \u0026 Victor - Cow (VASH)","description":"\u003cp\u003e200x260cm Ink painting on paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dark, sunken space spreads within the body. What is depicted there is a micro-universe of overlapping flowers, fungi, and microscopic creatures. This inner garden, revealed when a cow's torso is opened, reinterprets the cow's digestive function—circulating through four stomachs to transform food into energy—as a creative force. The outer contours are rendered realistically with delicate gradations created by ink wash (lavis), and the contrast with the black void inside quietly brings forth another world hidden beneath the familiar form of livestock. This piece symbolizes the meticulous production unique to Ambroise\u0026amp;Victor, who dedicate 600 hours of handwork to a single cow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ギャルリー亜出果","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48012518391959,"sku":"a\u0026v-2","price":8000000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/5504\/8588\/files\/2Vach.jpg?v=1783927226"},{"product_id":"a-v-1","title":"Ambroise \u0026 Victor Bear (OURS)","description":"\u003cp\u003e320x190cm, Ink on paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bear stands on two legs, staring straight ahead. Its massive body, depicted on a scale that reaches from floor to ceiling, creates an overwhelming presence, welcoming visitors. Inside its torso, a series of soft-edged black windows contain fragments of life, large and small, such as bees, plants, mycelia, and cloud-like patterns. The fur on the outside is realistically rendered with the delicate gradations of ink wash (lavis), and the contrast with the black space inside reveals a microcosm folded within a single beast. Another characteristic is that the two artists honed their techniques to the point where they shared the same brushwork, resulting in a seamless, single painting. The bear's gaze, quietly looking back at the viewer, seems to gently question the distance between humans and animals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ギャルリー亜出果","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48012521570455,"sku":"A\u0026V-1","price":9000000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/5504\/8588\/files\/7_Ours.jpg?v=1783927833"},{"product_id":"a-v-3","title":"Ambroise \u0026 Victor Egg (Œuf) Stoneware (Ceramic)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e40x30x30cm Stoneware (Ceramic) Materials: Stoneware (gré) coated with black slip, and chromography transfer onto white earthenware (faience).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe smooth, oval form is crafted from black slip-coated stoneware (grès noir), with the exterior finished in a matte, jet black that seems to absorb light.
