BENJAMIN SABATIER :

Born in 1977 in Le Mans (France), Benjamin Sabatier lives and works in Paris.

Benjamin Sabatier is a sculptor whose work explores and transforms the forms of modern art and their history in a simple vocabulary. His use of concrete, a constant in both his volume-based compositions and his reflections on abstract painting, draws on the history of this basic material of modern architecture as well as its current use in the history of sculpture since the 1970s. The use of cardboard or plastic panels creates an unexpected surface texture that is s sometimes reinforced by the addition of paint, at the risk of disturbing the appearance of the materials.
