Robert Arnoux

Robert Arnoux always had a love for "matter" and "materials". First the earth at the origin of his first strong emotions, when, very little he made balls of earth, and then watched with marvel, their long drying process, and then came stones, all stones. He would pick them up in the mountains and collect them. His studies to become a geologist were just a way to continue indulging in his fascination for stones and minerals. Today, sands, mica, corindon, and rock crystals dress his people".

His artistic evolution led him towards drawing real models in the "Pierre Soulages studio" in Charenton. Very quickly his personal way of drawing lines imposed itself to him as an evidence to reach a synthesis of human form, which tries to grasp the heart of being and presence; way beyond the representation of the body and the human figure.
