Michel Bassompierre

SCULPTURE
Michel Bassompierre is one of the most important artists in the field of contemporary animal sculpture. He has infused this discipline with a unique and new style that is instantly recognizable. Seductive and endearing, his work has traveled the world, releasing his marble and bronze bestiary to the four corners of the globe. Trained in Leleu's studio at the Rouen School of Fine Arts, Michel Bassompierre learned to look. He created kilos of sketches through which he built his understanding of the animal's body, this skillfully articulated machine whose line and movement he captured. It is precisely this life that he manages to bring out, making his work so sensitive.

In the tradition of François Pompon, Michel Bassompierre gets rid of anecdotes to go to the essential. Favoring animals with round shapes, he achieves a shape that is both soft and precise where light never strikes the shadow.
