Etienne Bossut
Born in 1946 at Saint-Chamond, France
Etienne Bossut makes his sculptures out of ordinary objects—seats, cans, refrigerators, kitchen knives, etc.—with self-coloured polyester mouldings. By giving a new status to these industrial objects, he moves them from the field of consumption to that of art. The deceptively truthful results explore the porous relationship between copying, imitation, and creation, while encouraging the viewer to question their relationship to objects.
Born in 1946 in Saint-Chamond, Etienne Bossut graduated from the École des Beaux-arts de Saint-Étienne in 1970. His works are part of numerous French public collections. He lives and works in Rennes.
