Biography

Corten steel sculptor David Sagnier translates complexity into pure and essential forms. His work is an act of humility: he shapes the metal, but allows the oxides to perfect the surface. Through trompe-l'œil, he challenges the immediate gaze to evoke emotion. His pieces are presented as unfinished works: it is up to the viewer to complete them and reveal their ultimate meaning.
