Nico Tournaire
Artist Sculptor-Caster
An art of synthesis is being developed, today, in my artistic search, everything happens as if I was trying to search in the depths of the material everything that gives its flavour and its âbulkinessâ to the world to then lighten it, sharpen it. Down to the invisibleâŠ
As for material I use bronze that I melt and cast myself, half-precious stonesâŠ
I create the mould beforehand, without going through the intermediate steps. The mould can be made with clay, foundry sand, refractory plaster⊠then comes the cast, the deburring, the chisellingâŠ
In the background of all this process, there is a deep and strong relation to nature. Iâm fetching the energies that fuel my shapes and my most primitive thoughts.
There is, in my process of creation, a call from instinctive forces, archaic, in the very same spirit as the band Cobra from the 1950s, of which P. Alechinsky was a member.

Furniture
Dans mon travail de mobilier en bronze poli ou patinĂ©, je recherche des formes organiques, sculpturales⊠une alternance entre le vide et le pleinâŠ
I want to be a newborn, close to the primitive, Paul KLEE
Sculpture
Iâm having fun !!!
Mes sculptures en bronze baignent dans un univers dĂ©calĂ© et parfois loufoque mais toujours rieur. Les pierres semi-prĂ©cieuses sont omniprĂ©sentesâŠ
All my creations are unique objects
