Jean-Pierre Rives, known for his exploits as captain of the France rugby team, converted a few years ago into sculpture.

On entering Albert Féraud's studio one day, Jean-Pierre Rives understood that he would be a sculptor, he now learned to subdue matter (metal), to give it life, to grant it a meaning.

He cut, cut, twist, soda to give his works an elan, shapes slender towards the sky, besides one of his dreams of artist would be to expose on the moon, thus, his works could hold without any support , Like clouds.

But matter is tough, it always takes over the man "creation, it is only energy and suffering", he constantly emerges from his studio.

Jean-Pierre Rives, connu de tous pour ses exploits en tant que capitaine de l'équipe de France de rugby, s'est reconverti il y a quelques années dans la sculpture.

C'est en entrant un jour par hasard dans l'atelier d'Albert Féraud que Jean-Pierre Rives comprend qu'il sera sculpteur, il apprend désormais à dompter la matière (le métal), à lui donner vie, à lui accorder un sens.

Il coupe, découpe, tord, soude pour donner à ses œuvres un élan, des formes élancées vers le ciel, d'ailleurs un de ses rêves d'artiste serait d'exposer sur la lune, ainsi, ses œuvres pourraient tenir sans aucun support, comme des nuages.

Mais la matière est coriace, elle prend toujours le dessus sur l'homme « la création, ce n'est que de l'énergie et de la souffrance », il sort constamment vidé de son atelier.
