Yann Guillon is a French sculptor born in 1962 who studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. His oeuvre is characterized by depictions of the human body, especially bodies in motion. The recurrence of athletes and dancers in his pieces exemplifies this interest.In these bodies captured in full effort, the artist seeks to accentuate the tension and twisting to invite us to see this energy, through which the bronze sculptures express some of the mystery and grace of each human being.

Yann Guillon
Depictions of the human body play a predominant role in Yann Guillon’s work. In these bodies captured in full effort, particularly athletes and dancers, the artist seeks to accentuate the tension and twisting to invite us to see this energy, through which the bronze sculptures express some of the mystery and grace of each human being. His direct carving technique and his forays into abstract sculpture allow him to explore other languages and other registers in sculpture. “When I’m working, I try to keep the first movement, the first energy from the feeling of the sculpture, so I always try to stand back, to work on several sculptures at the same time, to find a balance between raw, spontaneous sculpture and at the same time a finished sculpture.“

Chapel, 1948-2021, Artist's Statement:
“I was raised on the Western Slope of Colorado, with almost unfettered access to the American wilderness. I currently reside on a sailboat in Oakland, CA with my studio in nearby San Leandro. I work with permanent materials including bronze, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, glass and stone. It is my contention that a work of art must include a complete environment, not just a single object. In my opinion, it is very difficult to convey meaning with either pure abstraction, or pure representation. Describing an abstract concept with another abstraction does not define the subject.
There is nothing in a completely non-objective artwork from the viewers experience upon which to base some meaning. One the other hand, a completely realistic presentation doesn't define an abstraction any better than a dictionary. This is why my sculpture is a blend - the symbolic joining of modern man with primitive experience.
They are in-depth studies of the archetypes and symbols used to communicate their relevance to our everyday lives. Mythology, poetry and art are humanity's attempt to describe the mysteries of life which are beyond our ability to consciously comprehend. This is the appeal of the visual arts, poetry, literature and music; they excite an emotional response, or memory that transcends mere words.” - Ron Chapel...
