Description
Pierre Tual does not force anything, he opens a passage for himself each time.
It is the alloy of the chosen metal, its thickness, its resistance and its flexibility that determine the final curve: no press, no roller, almost no machine, the sculptor's hand is the measure of the force involved.
"When I bend a sheet of metal, space enters into it" says Pierre Tual.
Space is an element of the sculpture in the same way as the material or the form. It circulates in and around it. Each sculpture is a tense whole: the tension of the metal that resists, the tension of the forms, the purity of the lines and the balance.

Presentation
Pierre Tual dialogues with emptiness, balance and form.
An abstract sculptor par excellence, his works consist of axes, planes and curves that he brings together. He searches, experiments, questions matter and space. He seeks the point of tension, this moment when the material yields and lets itself be guided by his hand. Whether he works in Corten steel, ceramics or bronze, organic folds, delicate curves and tenuous balances are inherent in Pierre Tual's work.
Graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nantes and the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He exhibited in 1966 at the Salon de la Jeune Sculpture in Paris, at the Museum of Fine Arts in Nantes in 1977, at the Center Pompidou in 1982 for the exhibition "In situ", then at the Galerie de France in 1984. His sculptures are exhibit from New York to Copenhagen via the Friche de l'Escalette in Marseille. He joined the Gaia Gallery in 2019.
