Artist Profile
Born: 1968
Hometown: Parthenay
Based in: Niort
The studio where the artist works and lives is located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in western France. It is against this immensity that he creates temporally in his young age. He then studies boilermaking and becomes a technician.
Influenced by philosophy from a certain period, with his in-depth knowledge of metal, he allowed himself to make this sterile material undergo a kind of metamorphosis, to transform it into a fertile sensation. A thinker and curious about phenomena, he often associates emotion with reflection.
Yannick is a contemporary metal sculptor who brings to realism or surrealism a strong intensity, he plays with the material and colors to give another dimension. Simply graceful or unimaginable, the works of this self-taught devotee are often surprising.
The works of Yannick Bouillault, which are sometimes exhibited, are now exported all over the world.
The word of the artist: All the works that I transmit are conceived exclusively by me in all the stages of their creations. Each sculpture has a complete and numbered certificate of authenticity. I also issue a personalized dedication in the name of the purchaser.
