Thierry Martenon sculpts venerable woods from the surrounding forests: ash, maple, spruce. In his hands, this noble material becomes a work of art, a true receptacle for light. It is indeed the light, in the roughness of the wood, which plays with the voids and solids, trickles along the sandblasted veins, leveling the ridges and ends, to the point that each of his pieces seems to breathe - alive, always.
Thierry Martenon is a sculptor. He lives in the hamlet of Désert d'Entremont, in the Chartreuse massif, away from the noise of the world and in the heart of nature. While his work is now acclaimed by the greatest institutions and collectors, and his sculptures travel across oceans, Thierry continues his motionless and vertical journey, listening to what he holds to be true: nature, wood, tools, the workshop.
