Les Lalanne Exhibition
Paul Kasmin Gallery
This event has ended.
Known individually and collectively since the 1960s, Les Lalanne have developed a style that defines inventive, poetic and surrealist sculpture. Two artists collaborating for decades, Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne offer separate bodies of work differing aesthetically. Interweaving intricate visual motifs from both flora and fauna, Claude Lalanne creates organically-inspired, airy, functional sculpture. Having rediscovered the Renaissance art of casting forms from life, then employing contemporary electro-plating techniques, Claude achieves a delicacy and sensitivity unparalleled in cast bronze. The exhibition will include "Choupatte (Très Grande)," a fantastical major work combining an oversized cast of a cabbage with the legs of a chicken.
