The Sorrentino Sanche Art-furniture
The works by Nathalie Sanche and Angelo Sorrentino fall into a category all their own, between art and furniture. The pieces bear witness to the freedom of these sculptor-woodworkers, craft artists in wood and metal; their creations call out for the abolition of artistic categories, in the same way as the English creators of the Arts & Crafts movement of the 19th century or the French and Belgian representatives of the Art Nouveau movement of 1900.
Nathalie Sanche handles the casting of metal with strength and delicacy.
Angelo Sorrentino draws on the physical capacities of wood.
Anthropomorphism, the life of forms cloaked as if wrapped in their own dynamism, the love of the curve and their audacious association of colour and materials: these are characteristics of the art-furniture of Nathalie Sanche and Angelo Sorrentino.
