About the Item
A modernist sculpture by French artist Bertrand Créac’h, hand-carved in Carrara marble, c. 1990s. Tapered and monumental, its angular planes dissolve into softened curves, revealing a central void that invites light to pass through. The surface bears pale graphite veining and subtle tonal shifts—natural expressions of the stone and the artist’s hand. Signed “CREACH” along the lower edge.
Bertrand Créac’h (1947–2022) was a French sculptor whose work exists at the intersection of nature and geometry, silence and tension. Educated at l’École Boulle in Paris and trained in the marble quarries of Carrara, Créac’h developed a deep material fluency that grounded his abstractions. Encounters with luminaries like Étienne Martin, François Stahly, and Michel Seuphor further shaped his artistic language—one that prized rhythm, restraint, and form.
Créac’h’s sculptures—whether in marble, wood, or bronze—feel less made than uncovered, as though he carved not to shape but to reveal. From modest tabletop forms to large-scale monoliths, his pieces are charged with spatial awareness and a reverence for balance. To live with a Créac’h is to slow down, to notice the curve, the shadow, the weight—and to understand that simplicity, at its most refined, is a form of power.
Condition: Great vintage condition, with minor marks and scuffs near the base. Signed “CREACH” along the lower edge.
