Lionel Sabatté

Lionel Sabatté has established himself as an emblematic figure of contemporary French art. A painter, sculptor, and draftsman, he gives voice to matter and breathes life into a bestiary populated by hybrid creatures, evoking the fragile boundary between the living and the inert. He explores the passage of time and the transformations it engenders. Using unusual materials such as fingernails, dust, or tree stumps, he questions the complex relationship between humankind and its environment.
