This auction is a CHARITY EVENT.
On its 60th anniversary, DLR asked artist Alphonse Marcel to create original, personalized artworks highlighting the trades of their federation.
A charity auction to benefit vocational training will be held in partnership with Ritchie Bros. It will officially open on Thursday March 20 and close at the DLR Congress evening on March 27.
All the money raised will be divided up and allocated to reward and thank the medalists and winners in construction and materials handling maintenance at the WorldSkills and Concours général des métiers from the 2024 to 2026 editions (as well as their experts and coaches).
Who is the artist of these works: Alphonse Marcel?
Alphonse Marcel is a multi-faceted French artist living in Paris, renowned for his hyper-realistic digital creations in a retro-futuristic universe. Combining vintage, steampunk, dieselpunk, atompunk and cyberpunk aesthetics, his artwork transports the viewer into imaginary worlds where humans, machines and landscapes interact with unsettling realism.
“I wanted to break down the boundaries between past, present and future, by presenting artworks that are intriguingly realistic, yet set in an imaginary time, with men, women and machines evolving in a dystopian world. I like to provoke thought and emotions. Like a photographed moment, I leave it up to each individual to make the work their own, to imagine the beginning or end of the story, giving them the freedom to construct their own narrative.”
