cyril lancelin creates inflatable pink pyramid in france

 

With his Pyramid XL Sphere installation, Cyril Lancelin transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, blending geometry, art, architecture, and nature. The work stacks bright pink inflatable spheres into a pyramid-like shape, inviting viewers to venture in amid the gardens of Hotel du Golf Barrière in Deauville, France. Vibrant and monumental, it is symbolic of the French artist’s signature style, assembling simple forms into playful, sculptural configurations.

pyramid xl sphere playfully bridges sculpture and space

 

Cyril Lancelin, known for his unique approach to merging sculpture and space, crafts immersive structures that challenge perceptions of traditional geometry. This latest work is a continuation of the artist’s fascination with repetitive geometric forms and inflatable materials, while introducing a new dynamic with its larger-than-life scale.

 

With the Pyramid XL Sphere installation, the bold hues and the repetitive spherical motifs evoke a sense of both familiarity and surrealism. Drawing attention while still maintaining harmony with the natural environment, the piece enhances the viewer’s experience as they navigate through and around the soft, voluminous forms. The work then becomes as much about interaction as it is about observation.
