About the Item

Black sandstone is the foundation of Sophie Bocher's work. Using a knife, she creates space between each curve, in constant search of harmony. She is also in constant investigation of light; the way it circulates, touches metal surfaces, clings to the grain of minerals, and eventually becomes absorbed by plaster. In creating a balance between figures and the abstract, she produces essential and primitive forms. Her bronze editions are the result of a long and painstaking work process in collaboration with local foundries near Paris. This involves the preparation and control of wax, cast iron, chiseling and patination that make each sculpture original. Sophie Bocher was born in 1976 and has been a sculptor for 20 years. After training in photography and painting, she became captivated by various materials and all the possibilities of expression within them. She explored sandstone and plaster at the Paris Fine Art Workshops, discovering casting techniques and the captivating world of foundries. She now lives and works in Malakoff near Paris.
