Biography

After crossing New Zealand on foot then a solo hike in Ladakh, Arthur Frenoy archived his engineering diploma, enrolled in the evening course at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and brought his project to fruition: creating wood from abstract sculptures. Wood for nobility and life, abstraction for amplitude of expression. Stumps, trunks, branches, burls, roots... he digs, sands, streaks and burns until he obtains the refined tension he seeks.

His workshop is also his living space, located in the middle of a property lost in the woods of Livradois-Forez which provide him with the raw materials necessary for his creations.
