Sculptures

The sculptures were born parallel with the first drawings, however the first works, made of carved wood, were almost all destroyed. Some large abstract or semi-abstract works remain from this initial phase: signs carved into old wooden planks from a stable. Wooden sculptures were soon joined by stone sculptures, generally large pebbles or small rocks, only in exceptional cases marble or sandstone. There are also examples of mixed-media sculptures and a case of bronze sculpture (sand casting). Except for some wooden ‘signs’, which exceed two meters in height, the dimensions of the sculptures are modest.

The forms are consistent with the phases of the drawing and evolve in a short time from an expressionist and Afro-surrealist figurative matrix to a more simple and often abstract primitivism.
