Biography
Yves Lohé was born in 1947 in the North of France.
In 1972, he completed an internship with Abel Bataillard, one of the great Master Ironworkers of Pigalle. In 1974, he decided to leave teaching and turned to sculpture through the ARTS of FIRE. He created his first works, in Wrought Iron, the first Art of Fire. He exhibited in Parisian Salons with the Independent French Artists.
His works were inspired by Hands and then came threadlike characters. Body expression, the study of forms and attitudes were his main sources of inspiration through various themes such as dance, music, street people, animals, etc.
Little by little, the forms softened. He created monumental sculptures for towns and villages in France.
In 1979, he built his bronze workshop and left wrought iron production.
In 1991, his meeting with Werner MANESSE, master glassmaker, gave him the opportunity to realize another dream; working with glass; the study of transparency and color. Werner taught him the alphabet of glass. A multi-colored vocabulary was born that allowed him to add to the form and material, the magic touch of light in order to construct his own poetry.
