Description

Suspended — or perhaps supported — by a brushed metal plate, the openwork ceramic piece evokes in turn a cloud, a mirage, or the uncertain outline of a face.
This clay sculpture, worked with the same care inside as outside, reveals an organic, vibrant and welcoming form, as if the material itself were breathing.

The delicate and luminous ceramic enters into a dialogue with the verticality of the reclaimed wood, solid and rigorous. At its base, a fragment of green-tinted concrete extends the feeling of balance, anchoring the sculpture in the earth while reinforcing its upward thrust.
The combination of these two dense materials — wood and concrete — paradoxically seems to lighten the presence of the ceramic, as if their weight revealed its fragility.

In this interplay of tensions, the metal plate becomes a tipping point, a tenuous but essential link.
From this silent struggle between gravity and weightlessness is born Ouamou, an immobile figure in balance, suspended between strength and lightness.

Materials: Varnished solid wood, green-tinted concrete, brushed metal, glazed ceramic

Presentation

Léo Souton was born in 1997. After studying Biology and taking a gap year in Australia, he turned to architecture. He graduated from ENSA Paris-Belleville in 2024 and now lives and works between Paris and the Lozère region. Emphasizing formal freedom, Léo Souton seeks to question our relationship to the materials we use.

Nourished by his experiences, he shapes a sculptural language where a wide diversity of techniques and materials intersect. From this richness emerge hybrid entities with forms that are both geometric and organic, as if from another reality. In reaction to the excesses of the consumer system and its effects on living beings, Léo recovers discarded materials and objects, giving them new life in sculptures—"entities" that reinvent the link between humankind and what it considers "the rest."

Exploring innovative assembly techniques, he invites us into a reinvented imagination, offering a new form of beauty to elements considered unusable. He gives his sculptures postures that allow them to observe us, to challenge us, and perhaps even seduce us. Thus, each sculpture is accompanied by a narrative designed to engage us, to transcend the anthropocentric view of the world, and to offer matter a chance for redemption.
