Jean-Luc Toussaint

poetic scrap

10 to 20 years

Sculpture

Settled in Martinique for the past 15 years,
Jean-Luc Toussaint feels right at home here. He appreciates the calm and strength of the surrounding nature. It's here that he met his wife, here that he achieved the maximum expression of his art: monumental sculptures.

Exact temperatures to work each metal, welding techniques, cold forming, precision machinery... This is a delicate art, requiring a quasi-surgical method.

“I try to keep the lines of my sculptures very simple. The more I work, the more I eliminate the superfluous... with the aim of arriving at a pure but explicit form. The final form has as few elements as possible.”

Whether creating moving animals or protective totems, Jean-Luc Toussaint works exclusively with recycled parts.
