LUC LETAILLEUR

Luc Letailleur's technique respects the different types of wood, creating compact pieces where the hollows formed by the carving blend energetically into the solid wood.
Born in 1955, Luc created his first sculptures in 1973; he is a self-taught artist who proudly proclaims himself.
Trained in cabinetmaking at the Duguesclin high school in Auray, he began his professional career at the Moulin de Pomper as an antique dealer selling English furniture.
Luc Letailleur's style evokes the beginnings of Cubism and primitive art sculptures made directly from tree trunks. He works with hardwoods such as ebony, hornbeam, ash, and poplar.
