Julien Allègre's sculptures testify to his admiration for nature. Here the metal finds its expressiveness through roughness and oxidation, it is reincarnated and invested with an extraordinary vitality. Like sentinels, these metallic silhouettes link the archaic to the contemporary. Starting from objects already formed, it frees the material from any functional necessity. These Fossil Men are the reflection of ten years of progress on the material that makes itself the guardian of nature.
