“Most of the time, I do a rather strong reduction
firing in order to reveal the raw character of the
sandstone which touches me most directly.”

Vincent Tournebize’s work is exhibited in
several galleries in Paris and the rest of
France.
He also participated at the ‘Carrousel du
Louvre’ 2013 event.
ACTIVITY:
Ceramic (Mural)
Sculptures
Vincent Tournebize‘s current work is dedicated
to figurative sculptures inspired by living
models in movement.
Even if some men and couples appear here
and there, his sculptures very often represent
women generously shaped and/or pregnant,
so that he sees his current production as an
anthem to femininity and fecundity.
Vincent Tournebize uses rough sandstone,
fired at very high temperature (around
1.300 °C) in a gas kiln.
“I seek harmony within the shapes, I blend
curves and distinct lines, on a perpetual quest to
find the perfect harmonious line, the line that will
give the piece structure and identity.”

Pascale Camy’s works are exhibited in a
plentitude of galleries in France, as well as
in Belgium and Switzerland.
She received several (inter)national awards
and nominations and participated at
the ‘Carrousel du Louvre’ 2013.
ACTIVITY:
Bronze and Stoneware
Sculptures
Pascale Camy is a sculptress who tackles numerous materials, working in particular with
stoneware and bronze.
Her work propels her to get to the heart of
the matter by eluding the details and drawing attention to the main lines. Her sources of
inspiration are diverse and heavily rooted in
Asian, notably Japanese culture.
The subjects are varied, essentially yet not exclusively dealing with humans. She performs
block modelling and particularly enjoys working with patinas, playing with
colours and their differing shades and hues.

Her works are on permanent exhibition in
several French galleries. Her creations have
been on display in Switzerland, Greece, Germany, United States, Belgium and Monaco.
She participated in the 2010 edition of the
‘Carrousel du Louvre’ in Paris and was
awarded the silver metal.
ACTIVITY:
Bronze
Sculptures
The work of Marie-Noëlle Ronayette Grange
recreates an infinity of women in an imaginary
world: free, rebellious, torn... but also joyful,
loving, thoughtful or dreamy... alone or in the
silent dialogue of lovers.
She creates sculptures from terracotta or wax
before melting bronze. With the wax, she can
let her imagination free reign in giving life to
long thin and often torn forms.

Wood Sculptures

The works of Sourski are exposed in
galleries in France as well as in Denmark.
Sourski is an autodidact artist, who explores
different directions in its creations.
Sourski often works with chamott and porcelain, the latter echoing childhood and innocence through its whiteness, its delicacy, and
its reputation of fragility.
The artist works instinctively, working the clay
and wax until a character appears, telling a
story that reflects the present moment.
The other source of expression is bound to
nature. It is the meeting with wooden natural elements which brings Sourski to vertical
sculptures, as a link between the ground and
the sky.
