Criticism
Deep down, sculptors are like most graphic designers and painters: they want to assert the unique nature of their work by detaching themselves from the sacrosanct classicism that nevertheless remains an irreplaceable basis for developing creativity.
Stéphane Gimmy has succeeded in simplifying his characters, which are his chief source of inspiration in numerous circumstances. Attentive to lightening the presence, originality and posture of his beings, he orchestrates shape and mood by means of a rigourous analysis without losing an ounce of expressive vitality. By condensing planes and alternating rough surfaces with the polished finish of bronze, Stéphane Gimmy establishes a novel way of perceiving space with rigour, charm and humour, yet without losing his personality or his manner of affirming the surprising and probing brilliance of his art.
Consequently we must pay tribute to this sculptor who breathes life and naturalness into works that do not need industrial metal profiles to flourish, and which point to an artist who maintains the magic of a contemporary style without falling into the trap of convenience or approximation.
