Christian Vial

Lyon artist, Christian discovers sculpture in 1999 and was there. What interests him in the sculpture is not to reproduce what we see but to find and make the emotion that we feel about what you see. For this, he searches in a model, the lines and volumes most in tune with his words and he evacuates the superfluous as so many slag and, at the same time, he adds influences which he previously received as a cook adds spices to its main ingredients. He now works two techniques mainly, the land for small and medium sculptures which are after cooked and then pulled in bronze and a mixed technique made from composite concrete for large sculptures. The latter technique he has developed, allows him to make exterior resin or bronze sculptures. “Each of Christian Vial's works, has its history, they are all different even if they have a common origin. They are not silent objects, they have a deep prevalence "Valentine Atah Galerist. "A sculpture that does not arouse emotion in people, is just an object of decoration." Christian Vial
