Biography
A sculptor using mainly bronze but other materials as well,Bernard Métranve seeks to comunicate visions ans special moments from the angle of the female body which has become in a way the principal medium of his emotions and imagination. Bodies are remodeled under the inflence of analogies and the association of ideas:they are transformed-but not deformed-by particular aesthetic rules which reject the repetitive and the facile. His language stresses as much the symbiosis of metamorphosed memories as the indefatigable pursuit of pure lines drawn from the most intense expressions of life ans love. Far from academic,this sculptor injets lighness,fantasy and humour into each work .
