About this artwork
Sky Crackers, with its rusty patina that gradually erodes the steel, seems to come from the depths of time. This metal artwork is composed of 5mm thick pieces of raw steel. Brushed rust patina. Weight: 18 kg. Hanging is done at a single point with varying degrees of intensity (see photos). By bringing together specially cut pieces of steel, I recreate an angular and almost primitive world... but with a decidedly modern and contemporary feel. Here,…
the focus is on the material in all its inherent beauty. The material is meant to be observed closely. Each piece of steel is itself a sculpture!
The spaces between each welded steel piece allow light to pass through: a play of shadows on the wall can create a special effect that further highlights the painting. Spacers allow the painting to be raised 5 cm away from the wall.

Born in Paris in 1970, Michel LAURENT (aka MichL) began his creative work in the lighting industry in the 1990s. At the turn of the 2000s, he immersed himself in the world of the École Boulle and received a universal foundation in wood sculpture, modeling, and drawing... An enriching approach, complementary to his engineering training (industrial design, knowledge of materials).
Barely out of the Boulle School, he then completed several blacksmithing internships: Michel LAURENT then entered the world of steel. From then on, he devoted himself to metal and invested in new creative spaces in Haute-Saône. In France and abroad, he exhibits and participates in sculpture symposiums. As for his messages, he conveys them through installations, often large-scale...
Through his contact with the material, Michel LAURENT often evolves his projects. This is why he carries out as many of the operations as possible himself in his open-air workshop.
