Colonne Iv Sculpture

Alban Lanore (born in 1966 in Paris) is a self-taught French sculptor whose work forms a powerful dialogue between the organic and the geometric. Initially inspired by the raw forms of nature discovered during his travels, he gradually evolved his practice toward a rigorous abstraction. His work is characterized by the use of charred wood, a technique that creates a striking contrast between polished surfaces and carbonized textures, as well as by a quest for formal and conceptual balance. Although he deliberately works away from the art world from his residence in Touraine, Alban Lanore has succeeded in establishing a strong presence on the contemporary art market. His works are represented by renowned international galleries and are regularly exhibited at major art fairs, attesting to the critical and commercial recognition of his distinctive approach.
