The talented sculptor Ren\u00e9 Broissand<\/strong>, represented by the art gallery\u00a0Martel Greiner<\/strong>, one of the best exhibitors at PAD Geneve 2019<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, was born in 1926, son of French parents, in Tunisia, where he spent all his childhood.

In the 50s he worked at the Navy Ministry in Paris, but later he left this job to devote himself to his selected material of expression: metal<\/strong> and especially stainless steel<\/strong>. At the end of the 50s, he met many artists using this material, it was a favorite due to its malleability and its great resistance.<\/p>\n

Soon, he wished to test the limits of steel<\/strong> in art, so he kept on creating. In 1963, he participated in his first exhibitions in Paris, among other artists dedicated to metal work, such as C\u00e9sar<\/strong>, Hiquilly<\/strong>, Guzman<\/strong> or Albert F\u00e9raud<\/strong>. From Basel to New York, he continued exhibiting for over twenty years.<\/p>\n

Broissand is appreciated for his exclusive sculpture<\/strong> and furniture<\/strong>. His lighting in polished bronze<\/strong>, tables and steel pieces<\/strong> were showcased first in the gallery Saint Angello<\/strong> and were bought by the Rothschild Foundation<\/strong> in 1976. In 1977, the designer produced for Pierre Cardin<\/strong> several sculptures and a set of tables marrying steel and ceramic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

His sculpture art<\/strong> is characterized by a recurrent theme, \u201cthe bird<\/strong>\u201c, a symbol of the freedom he has constantly required. Each one of the pieces create by Ren\u00e9 Broissand is unique and expresses his dedication to the union of art<\/strong> and design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
