The artist in his workshop

Name/surname: DéBROUX Nicolas



Age : born 1970 in Annecy (74), France.

Steel sculptor





Art craft:
Self made steel sculptor since 5 years.

Coppersmith/boilemaker diploma. No sculpture or art school background

I realise varial sizes steel sculptures:, from
30 cm to 2,50 m high. Most of them are about 55 cm high.
most of the time, I am inspired by heads, masks, small figures…
as material, I use any form of commercial steel ( tubes, shell…).
I do not use pre-formed material from someone else.
I start from the grosser material I can find,

My sculpture :

I am lookinf forward to be in synergy with the material I work with, i try to be insight those forms which are inert while tey are cold, and very amenable while it is hot.
During my art work, a kind of surreal dialog happen to be with the material.
My sculpture attracs you in a personnal universe, where the steadiness of the object is an appeal to fade away.
I do not give any name to my work, i use numbers( chronology) and let anyone's imagination capturing the feeling without giving it a name or a title.

I was working in the building business and this work couldn't give me the possibility to go further in my artistic research. It reached a point of no return when I stopped my work and went trough my passion.
Finally I have no regret...and am still building things! Builders and scluptors have this in common Buildings monuments that stand and last in time.
