Quentin Garel

Quentin Garel is a contemporary sculptor born in Paris in 1975 who works in stone, wood and bronze. 

'Quentin Garel’s work is inspired by anatomy, skeletons and archaeological remains to create sculptures with hybrid forms. If he plays with reality and the relationship of scale to divert the forms and invent a population from a parallel paleontological world, at first glance his sculptures are an illusion, they become the remains of a real animal, in a subtle assembly of wood and bronze that he works in such a way that we can not differentiate them with the naked eye. Garel is an archaeologist of the present, who reinterprets the animal figure through a multitude of morphological variations.'

It all started 20 years ago, when his work took an ironic look at hunting trophies: he denounced a proud practice of man, a domination over the animal seen only as an object of consumption.
