Benoit Fleury

A sculpture that has its roots in nature ...

Introduced to the artistic work of wood by his cabinetmaker-sculptor father, Benoit Fleury, Franco-Swiss sculptor, gleans roots and woods bruised by fires, the elements and weathered by time. He then gives them a second life ...

He works these woods of Mediterranean species in direct carving, letting himself be guided by the shapes and veins to transform them into sculptures with very clean lines, on the theme of nature.

Benoit likes to play with the contrast between the complexity of natural elements and the purity of sculpted forms, a contrast that can be found on his latest bronzes juxtaposing "mirror polish" and black patina.
