Wood Sculpture for Sale
The wood sculpture category focuses on a warm and tactile material that invites physical interaction rather than visual contemplation alone. Wood offers a wide range of textures depending on the species used and the sculptor's technique, whether carving, shaping or sanding to produce volume, contrast between smooth and rough surfaces, or interaction with natural grain.

Béatrice Bizot combines wood and plaster to reinterpret human faces with precision and sensitivity. Christian Michaud, brings an intimate dimension to his practice, working wood through engraving and wall sculpture, using dark tones and a balance between abstraction and figuration.
The contemporary approach to wood sculpture appeals to collectors who appreciate works that are both artisanal and current. Explore the wood sculpture category to enrich your collection with pieces that are physically engaging and visually thoughtful.
