Cédric Hennion

Cédric Hennion, nicknamed Cedricovich, is an artist born of the very labour of manual work. He is a sculptor of stone, wood, ice, snow and metal. A traditional craftsman, he is a modeller, stone cutter, sculptor and hammer and chisel enthusiast. His sculpture is composed of a mass of minerals, the elements necessary for all creation: stone. The artist-sculptor practises an arduous art combining brutality, vivacity and strength. He shapes his art in the rigidity of the material to reveal all its finesse and delicacy. The result is a refined, minimalist style that allows the material to express all its fragility. With the force of these gestures, Cédric Hennion gives a new dimension to stone that has become rigid with age. He inclines it to rediscover its modernity through contemporary lines. The pieces by this talented sculptor evoke softness and bliss, as well as an almost carnal desire revealed by voluptuously polished curves.
