Gaulmier Jean-Luc  

In 1988, he entered the National School of Decorative Arts in LIMOGES. For 5 years, he practices, among other things, modeling, plaster, porcelain and sculpture while leaving a privileged place to drawing. In 1992, he obtained his National Diploma of Plastic Expression with mention in sculpture. Thereafter, he will work for the theater and the cinema for ten years as painter-decorator, director and scenographer (CHATEAUROUX, LIMOGES and PARIS). Since 2001, he lives and works in the south of the HAUTE GARONNE. His sculpture travels between abstraction and figuration, most often made of recycled materials. His universe: The recovery of objects, ideas, images in order to recycle them into playful or dreamlike objects. Without a priori for the techniques practiced, we go from one material to another (wire, driftwood, steel, earth, plaster, glass, wax ...) "... The real object and virtual, mobile and silent object, phantom object, interpreted, incorporated, being-object, natural object, disturbed, found, mathematical, involuntary object ... "(Abridged dictionary of surrealism - 1938)
