MABILLON Christophe

Christophe MABILLON, Cmab, is a French sculptor born in 1969 in Paris, France

First musician before becoming a sculptor, Cmab draws inspiration from the complexity, power and esoteric characters of music. The violin and guitar are transformed into works of art. The marble worked in fragmentation and obliteration restores the strength and finesse of the subject. Christophe Mabillon sculpts marbles in direct size in the purest tradition, formed in Carrara's career in Italy, he has a preference for white and black marbles.

In parallel, the artist has a very prolific graphic creation: he always addresses very powerful subjects such as vanities or a series on parasitic insects. With a clear nod to the academicism of classical representations, Christophe Mabillon graphe des natures morts with a powerful philosophical involvement and systematically provokes questioning, problems.
