Traces (2023) Sculpture by Véronique Vigneron

Véronique Vigneron is a contemporary French sculptor who has been working in sculpture since the age of 12, alongside her career as a creator of Volumes Costumes, a profession she has pursued for over 30 years. Despite her ion for sculpture, this dream was not initially ed by her family environment, yet it remained her deep and enduring ion.

For the past two years, Vigneron has fully committed herself to sculpting in bronze, with 15 pieces completed and 9 others currently in production at the molder or foundry. Her work in bronze takes two distinct forms:

The first direction involves hollow bronzes, crafted from delicate 5mm bronze sheets. These sculptures represent incomplete human forms, often depicting bodies, faces, and scenes of movement, including dance. The patinas are carefully worked with gradients and marbling, and some pieces are gilded with gold leaf for added elegance. The anchor points of these works—such as toes or locks of hair—are executed with subtlety, and some sculptures are designed to be mobile on their bases, enhancing their dynamic nature.

The second direction of Vigneron’s work begins with sculptures molded from PU foam, which is then transformed into wax and ultimately cast in bronze. These pieces explore distended and gathered bodies that take on geometric shapes, with deliberate disproportions introduced into various parts of the body. Despite their abstracted forms, these sculptures are characterized by the elegance and roundness of their lines.

Through both approaches, Vigneron’s work is marked by harmony, softness, and fluidity—three concepts that she believes permeate all of her creations, reflecting her vision of balance and grace in the human form.
