The bronze sculpture Rezilientia, installed on the esplanade of Paris La Défense, is part of Ghyslain Bertholon’s artistic concerns. Rezilientia "takes up, in an allegorical way, the theory of Boris Cyrulnik, a French neuropsychiatrist, who in the 90s popularized the concept of resilience in psychoanalysis, which consists in continuing to develop after a trauma, but differently", according to Bertholon. «One day in November 2019, I sketched in my notebook the quick sketch of a burned stump in which is stuck an axe whose handle seems to come back to life. At that time, the continent of Australia was literally consumed by flames from huge fires.” 

Born in 1972, in Lyon Ghyslain Bertholon is a French visual artist. Graduate of the DNSP of the School of Fine Arts of Saint-Étienne, Bertholon multiplies artistic collaborations, exhibitions and residencies in France and abroad. At the same time, he carried out several public commissions for permanent installations in public spaces. Today, he lives and works in Saint-Étienne. The artist has been working for more than fifteen years on the relationship of domination that Man maintains with his environment, which, by abusing its resources, upsets the great balances. Since 2009, Ghyslain Bertholon is represented by the School Gallery - Olivier Castaing, in Paris.
