His artistic practice involves collecting and recycling poplar wood from crates and bourriches (oyster crates) at markets when greengrocers dismantle their stalls. Using a knife and adhesive, he disassembles and deconstructs the materials, reassembling them to create his artworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSardines (sardina pilchardus) are caught as a seasonal catch during the main season from May to October, when they are at their fullest and therefore the most tender and flavourful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fish come from the Breton ports of Lorient, Concarneau, Douarnenez and Saint-Guénolé, as well as occasionally from St. Gilles Croix de Vie in the Vendée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the workshop in Penmarc'h, the sardines are processed fresh using traditional methods, headed and gutted by hand. The subsequent frying in oil gives the sardines their characteristic candied flavour, which is particularly prized by connoisseurs and contributes to optimal maturation in the can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis processing method was already practised by the father and grandfather of the current director, Jean-François Furic. The cooking oil used is changed more frequently than required by the Label Rouge standard. At the canning factory, the packing is done by hand in the style known as \"en bleu\" (back-to-back), with four to six sardines placed in each can.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Compagnie Bretonne","offers":[{"title":"115g can","offer_id":50734926004490,"sku":"MP-JAHR-LACO-3346","price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0001\/0763\/files\/CompagnieBretonneJahrgangssardine2024.png?v=1774992005","url":"https:\/\/miitrephilippe.com\/en\/products\/jahrgangssardine-2024-jean-yves-pennec-la-compagnie-bretonne","provider":"Maître Philippe \u0026 Filles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
