About an exhibition by the artist Lokiss. Context: "Il signe l’exposition Instant 14, montrant ses œuvres en volume à la nervosité agressive, à la Percept Gallery de Lyon." I asked what the author meant by "nervosité agressive", and the answer was: "Quel est le sens ici ? ce sont des qualificatifs qualifiant le caractère d’un humain, qui ici, sont assimilés à un travail artistique. Agressively nervous pourrait convenir par exemple". I am not sure what he means by "en volume", though, because the exhibition only had 20 exhibits and they do not seem to be very large pieces. Any help gratefully received!

large body of work
As in:
In this show of “Recent Works”, the MAK presents a comprehensive solo exhibition of the British artist Julian Opie. The three large bodies of work assembled in the show, “Portraits”, “Nudes”, and “Land-scapes”, survey most recent works by the artist, many of them never shown before. The works of this boundary-pushing artist who always strives to find innovative ways of artistic expression oscillate between painting and sculpture, expanding techniques and readings of art.

Or it could be "his large-scale work"?

: I think Phil's original suggestion in the DBox (three-dimensional) is probably closer to the meaning. See my ref there.
