François Gaulier

The bronze sculpture serie “Géants/Giants” features the monumental aspect of the artist’s style, even in these miniature studies. In fact, these sculptures are designed to evolve into a much larger size. In regards to the diminutive size of these artworks, the gold sparkles help detach the piece from its environment and conveys the spectator to a very personal dialogue…. Bright light projected by the gold gives the sculpture a new dimension.

“Géants / Giants” resonates with influences from renowned sculptors that marked history.

Henry Moore had an important and long lasting influence on the early works of F. Gaulier. Moore’s wood and stone carvings often begin as very small pieces that evolve in sculptures of different dimensions.
