Description
Born in Paris in 1947, Christian Renonciat continued his studies at the Sorbonne, where he obtained a license in philosophy. In 1969, he entered a cabinet-making workshop where he practiced woodworking for six years. In 1975, he opened his own workshop in Valbonne, where the first sculptures were born. Back in Paris, he began to exhibit in 1978 at the Alain Blondel gallery. Over the years, his interest in the matter of things as a subject became clearer, sculpted in wood through various representations, from the most [hyper] realistic to almost abstract works. Galerie Guillaume organized its first exhibition of Christian Renonciat in June 2019. The work offered here is entirely characteristic of the artist's style and approach.
Presentation
?Born in Paris in 1947, I studied literature at the Sorbonne, and I hold a BA in philosophy.
Wishing to have a more concrete activity, I joined Jean-Louis Gonnet?s studio in Antibes, where I learned in six years all the techniques connected to my favorite material, wood. I opened my own studio in 1975 in Valbonne, and my first sculptures were born.
Back in Paris the following year, I had my first exhibition at the Alain Blondel Gallery. Over the years my interest in the material of things as a subject started to get defined, an I was sculpting the wood into various representations, from the more [hyper]realistic to the almost abstract ones.
In 1984, I have taken another parallel track: the monumental works, for which I wanted to combine imagination and technique in a variety of materials (steel, bronze, aluminum but also garden design) employing very often the tone of an imaginary archeology. The installations in Saumur, Tokyo, Sapporo, Atlanta, San Francisco, Monte-Carlo, Aytré, La Rochelle, Paris, Reims, London, etc. witness this direction in my work.
For the last twelve years, I have decided to dedicate myself again full-time to my work in wood, around "the substance of things", and I have a workshop in the Touraine, close to Chenonceaux; I also work in Paris, in my workshop in Issy-les-Moulineaux.?
