Matter and associated materials, textures, compositions and orientations, shapes and variations… Around this open and vast theme, you’ll find abstract compositions and figurative works imbued with poetry, and learn how artists interpret complementarity through their creations. The combination of materials, variations in form and the interplay of orientations create a striking panorama of current sculptural trends.
