Sylvain Meyer
Born April 7th, 1980, Sylvain Meyer grew up in Eclépens in the canton of Vaud. With a name like his, he was predestined to love nature, the forest and fresh air! Through patience and experimentation, he became a land-artist. This contemporary art form consists of creating artworks, usually outdoors, using only materials found in place. These creations, which are subject to the whims of weather and erosion, can only be perpetuated by photography.
Through photography, Sylvain began to create land-art. Passionate about technology, he purchased a digital camera and started wandering the countryside to capture landscapes, then began to gather stones, pieces of wood and leaves and create artworks both beautiful and transitory.
His patience, perseverance and keenly honed vision allow him we can create something according to your needs or using your ideas to create remarkable, unusual works. His training as a technical draftsman helps him set his projects on paper and create two-dimensional forms before bringing them to life in the field.
Through his artistic experiences, Sylvain has become a specialist in anaphormosis or « how to cheat the eye so it believes it’s seeing something magnificent».
Jan Reymond
Born July 9, 1979, Jan Reymond grew up in Romainmôtier.
Surrounded and lulled by the sounds of his father’s cabinetry shop, Jan soon discovered his creativity and his passion for working with different materials such as wood, stone, paper and metal. He loves nature and animals, is interested in science and almost became a veterinary surgeon. But his inherited talent, craftsmanship and creativity became too strong to resist and Jan returned to his father’s workshop.
Jan has been a cabinetmaker and carpenter in Romainmôtier since 2005 and his creations never go unnoticed. To mention only one, everyone recalls the reconstruction, using books, of a corner of Romainmôtier’s Romanesque cloister for the 1100th anniversary of Cluny, in 2010.
