Passion Sculpture
Arson discusses his journey and tells us about his work as a sculptor.
My job
A work that blends reflection and emotion
In fact, I don't have a precise answer as to why I chose sculpture , simply because it wasn't a choice. It's my sensitivity, my interest in materials and objects, that gradually allowed me to express myself through sculpture. I need to work with materials of any kind; I find profound pleasure in transforming a lump of clay into a model, in carving stone, or in pouring metal into a plaster mold that I've created from a model or a carving. When I begin a piece in the studio, driven by an idea, an irrepressible urge, I have no idea what the result will be, and a struggle begins between the material and me.

modern Sculpture Gallery
Only a few artists are fortunate enough to make a living solely from their art. This is why I created my own online sculpture gallery. Although my works are shown in a few art galleries run by friends, and although I have taken part in many exhibitions and art fairs, I want to stay directly connected with those who appreciate contemporary sculpture and the art market – collectors, art lovers and curious visitors alike. It may be a virtual gallery, but it can lead you straight to my studio in the South of France. After nearly fifty years living in Gordes in the Vaucluse in Provence, I am now based in Bouchet, a charming village on the Côtes du Rhône in the Drôme Provençale, where you can discover my artistic environment and where I would be delighted to welcome you in person.
You will come to visit me – still in Provence – amid the splendid vineyards of Vacqueyras, Gigondas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and countless other delights of the region: the truffle market of Richerenches, the Grignan Festival, the Chorégies d’Orange, the lands around Mont Ventoux and so many other southern treasures. It is here, in this land of sunshine and wine, that I pursue my art, develop new contemporary sculptures and creative works, and enjoy the freedom of making art for those who appreciate it. I will be waiting for you.
