Catherine François

“Nature is the great Creator, the maker of all things; I am merely her instrument” says Catherine François, with the humility of the greatest. The oeuvre of the sculptor reflects the escalating chaos that grips the world and feeds her anxiety and our own. The disorder is deep, organic. But for the artist, these accidents are the source of an ambitious research which aims, through art, to underline the necessity for humankind to finally respect Nature, on which our survival depends. This book illustrates the artist’s prolific career: thirty years of sculpture and a creativity that expresses itself with all the energy of the living.“
