Frenchman Edouard martinet - a real wizard: it doesn't cost him anything to take ordinary scrap metal and turn it into any kind of animal. True, this person does not have a magic wand, but he has talent, imagination and skillful hands.
Edouard Martinet finds material for his works at flea markets and garage sales, and anything can become an element of future sculpture: rusty pots and pans, typewriter keyboards, car headlights and other metal debris. Usually the author creates representatives of the living world: fish, amphibians, insects, birds …
A feature of our hero's work is that he does not use welding in his work. The author selects the details to match each other, like pieces of a puzzle. Previously, Edouard Martinet makes several detailed drawings and only then, based on them, searches for the necessary elements of the future work. Unsurprisingly, with this approach, the author takes a long time before his next idea is finally implemented.
Edouard Martinet was born in Le Mans (France) in 1963. He was educated at the High School of Graphic Arts (ESAG / Penninghen) in Paris. After completing his studies, the author lived in Paris for several years, working as a graphic designer, and in 1990 began to study sculpture. Edouard Martinet currently lives in Rennes and teaches at L'Institut des Arts Appliques.

Eerie sculptures of hybrid animals. Metamorphosed Animals Project by Enrique Gomez De Molina
Inventing and reproducing new worlds that are inside ours, or even exist outside of time and space, artists and sculptors often inhabit them with outlandish creatures, the likes of which can only be seen in delirium, feverish dreams, or under the influence of potent "substances". Where they come from and where they go is unknown, but in modern art strange animals can be seen in the works of Jessica Jocelyn, Steve Bishop or today's hero of the publication, sc
