Eric Astoul

Trained the old-fashioned way in various workshops, Éric discovered the appeal of wood-fired stoneware at high temperatures for several days. Based in La Borne, he built his anagama. The harmony between the form and the mineralization by the furnace defines his research.

Excellent turner, curious, practicing drawing, from the 2000s, he confronts the blocks of earth. He separates them, assembles them, carves cliffs, verticalities. It sinks like a fjord into the heart of the earth. From the elegance of filming to the exploration of the masses are born radiant works, powerful sculptures. This potter, body and soul, motionless before the earth turning between his fingers, takes you very far.
