Galipette Sculpture

TomSturm is a contemporary French sculptor. He started his career as a graphic designer. His daily life in front of a screen is filled with layouts, illustrations and 2d and 3d animations. But the virtual has its limits. Then came the time to measure himself against the material, and sculpting stone became an obvious choice. His technique: direct carving, all manual, traditional from the carving to the polishing. His style: pure lines, in search of a simplified form. His quest: to shape the stone and find the human in it. His desire: to laugh about it, or at least to smile about it. TomSturm hopes that you will find as much pleasure in seeing or owning these works as he had in sculpting them. TomSturm est un sculpteur français contemporain. Il a commencé sa carrière comme graphiste. Son quotidien devant un écran se remplit de mises en page, d’illustrations et d’animations 2d et 3d. Mais le virtuel a ses limites. Arrive alors le temps de se mesurer à la matière, et sculpter la pierre devient une évidence. Sa technique : la taille directe, tout en manuel, traditionnel de la taille au polissage. Son style : des lignes épurées, à la recherche de la forme simplifiée. Sa quête : façonner la pierre et y trouver de l’humain. Son envie : en rire ou, au moins, en sourire. TomSturm espère que vous trouverez autant de plaisir à voir ou posséder ces œuvres qu’il en a eu à les sculpter.
