Gino Charpentier

Gino Charpentier's sculptures have evolved into a language with absolutely pure forms. His works, which originated in the French soil, bring us back to the free forms of sculpture. He is attached to the harmony of forms even in small works to bring forth the balance of powerful beauty. The male and female duality that emerges from his latest work is astonishing. Having managed to get rid of a certain academicism, he proves to us by his latest works that he is a genuine sculptor. Gino Charpentier, deeply inhabited by his art, can be considered as one of the active participants in the paths that the new French sculpture is taking.
