François Maurin I Corps latent

François Maurin’s wall sculptures, carved from wood and sealed with resin, rise as vertical presences sustained by a subtle tension between structure and organic growth. Rooted in drawing, their underlying lines articulate hollowed, stretched, and at times segmented forms that suggest both bodily fragments and figures still in the making. The wood shaped through its weight, density, and grain retains a palpable vitality, while the resin arrests the surface in a suspended state, poised between emergence and permanence.
