Jacques-Etienne Henry

Jacques-Etienne Henry, a self-taught sculptor based in the south of France, primarily works with metal, concrete, canvas, and string, drawing on his industrial experience. He works by hand in micro-series or unique pieces, favoring arc assembly and economy of means, while playing on the contrasts between mastery and spontaneity, clean lines and raw textures. His work expresses a fragile balance and contained tension, inviting the viewer to experience the poetry of movement, the precision of gesture, and the beauty of living matter.
