Julien Allègre
Julien Allègre explores sculpture, ceramics and the trace of the hand through pieces where material remains central.
An organic, silent sculpture
Julien Allègre is a self-taught sculptor. Since 2001, driven by an inner creative force, he has continuously deepened his mastery of steel and specialised in sculpture, working outside schools and major institutional circuits.
A passionate musician, he first played drums and then the hang; that sensitivity to rhythm and resonance still inhabits his metal forms today. His perseverance has brought him long-term collectors and gallerists who have supported his work over the years.
His sculpture displays a very personal, sensitive and timeless writing. For those who know how to contemplate it, it speaks of human fragility, roughness and depth. His beings, with their complex carnal envelopes, seem inhabited by ancestral times, guardians of an era who give us strength and serenity.
His works engage steel, bronze, copper, Corten and metallised effects. The forms — sometimes animal, vegetal, fossil or architectural — keep a part of roughness and depth, as if each piece carried an ancient memory. Signature pieces include Zakir, Victoire, Souffleur des eaux, Éclosion de sel, Rose des Sables, Équilibre illusoire, and the visual and sound installation L'Onde de L'Arbre.
