L’Original Galleries are proud to present the solo show of Antonin Gauthier, an outstanding sculptor who transforms recycled objects into unique and captivating works of art. The exhibition runs from August 20 to 27 at 4455 Saint-Denis.
Inspired by an unexpected encounter with a welder, Antonin Gauthier began his artistic journey while repairing his old farm tractor. Boundless curiosity led him to use nails as a practice material, discovering the art of welding without any prior experience. The adventure was fraught with trial and error, but it was in this way that he built his first artistic forms, from pyramids to cubes and beyond. However, it was a metal cat, the fruit of his passion for welding structures together, that really introduced him to the world of sculpture.
Antonin Gauthier describes himself as a multi-faceted artist, having worked in various professions such as molecular biologist, farmer and handyman. But the call of sculpture was so powerful that he decided to burn his diplomas and scientific papers, renouncing his past to devote himself fully to his artistic passion.With a slight affinity for metalwork, his sculptures express a unique visual language that deftly blends scientific precision with artistic creativity.
Antonin Gauthier’s solo exhibition at 4455 Saint-Denis is a rare opportunity to discover his artistic world of transformation, reflection and reinvention. Visitors will have the opportunity to contemplate a collection of works that push the limits of perception, created from carefully selected recycled objects and meticulously welded together to form breathtaking compositions.
Come and immerse yourself in Antonin Gauthier’s artistic universe at his solo show from August 20 to 27 at Galerie L’Original, 4455 Saint-Denis. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to discover the work of a visionary artist who has found his vocation in creating art and expressing the hidden potential of recycled materials.
