Michel Neuville
Michel Neuville is a contemporary French sculptor. He has been carving wood for 30 years and also works in bronze. He was attracted to old stumps with unusual shapes and desired to intervene in these elements of nature. These oddly shaped pieces of wood provide him with a starting point for a portrayal. As a result, he began sculpting roots and other woods.
The inspiration for his wood sculptures came from his observations of nature. A realistic representation at first, which little by little will evolve towards more abstraction. The representation of reality remains at the beginning of his sculptures, whether they are made of wood or bronze.
Michel Neuville was born in 1950, in France.

biographie Michel Neuville
Biographie
Je vis en Corrèze depuis mon enfance. J’ai exercé mes fonctions de mouleur main aux Fonderies d’Aluminium d’Ussel.
Aujourd’hui retraité, je peux pleinement vivre ma passion de la sculpture. Je travaille régulièrement dans mon atelier et participe à de nombreuses expositions.
Attiré par de vieilles souches aux formes étranges, qui déjà me donnaient à imaginer… J’ai eu envie d’intervenir sur ces éléments de la nature. Ces morceaux de bois aux formes singulières évoquaient pour moi une image, me donnant le point de départ d’une représentation. J’ai donc commencé à sculpter des racines et autres bois.
L’observation de la nature fut le point de départ de ma production de sculptures sur bois. Une représentation d’abord réaliste, qui peu à peu va évoluer vers plus d’abstraction…
Parallèlement, le travail du bronze me passionnait. C’est pourquoi j’ai voulu me former en participant à un stage en fonderie d’art, afin d’apprendre la technique du moulage en cire perdue. Je réalise désormais des pièces de bronze et d’étain.
Que ce soit dans le travail du bois ou celui du bronze, le point de départ de mes sculptures reste la représentation du réel. Puis je m’évade dans mon imaginaire, ma conception et ma réalisation deviennent alors plus abstraites.
