Unusual Sculptures By French Sculptor Bruno Catalano

Bruno Catalano is a French artist, born in 1960. His works reveal his desire to capture the viewers attention while stamping his unique mark on the subject.Admiring art since his youth, it is only in 1990 that Catalano starts a career as a remarkable sculptor. His talent lies in the ability to endow the inherently elusive material with a transcendental essence. As a romantic dreamer, his subject matter takes shape in the fantastic framework of an ideal world where love, peace, beauty and harmony reign. His passion for art will never lose its strength.The universal theme of travel still inspires Bruno Catalano. Since he started to knead clay, some hundred or so travelers have come out of his feverish hands, populating his studio while awaiting an unknown destination. His first works, compact and conventional, stayed tied to the elements of the earth, whereas the series which follows does not cease to acquire expressiveness and finesse. These astonishing works, with their dashed bodies and the determined lack of volume, invite the viewer to mentally reconstitute its limits. Thus, Van Gogh still leaves, his suitcase in hand, towards the Provencal countryside, but it is in a quasi-abstract lightness, open to the elements. Is it not our destiny that Bruno Catalano persuades us to see and to meditate on? Because through his statuary, he re-enacts the adventure of the human species, always between two riverbanks, repelling all borders.
