expression.\u00a0Thus he forces the physical traits of human and animal figures.\u00a0He brings to their paroxysm the muscles of the body in tension, the nerves, the cheekbones, to the very fibers, without ever reaching the grotesque, the obscene, or the caricature.<br><br>The sculpture that he practices with marble or clay has been his main activity until now, but he also works in pastels on

expression, the representation of his models is never caricatural, clownish or amusing.\u00a0Henri's work lies on the very subtle edge of excessive exaggeration that never tips over into buffoonery or carnivalesque.<br><br>His talent never fails.\u00a0The deformation of the somatic appearance is supported without falling into derision.\u00a0Our artist pushes the representation of the human and animal physiognomy to upset the harmony by the force of the line thus revealing the interiority, the state of soul, the allegory.\u00a0Henri does not create figures, but psychic states.<br><br>In the history of art, this process had illustrious predecessors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33

in Paris, Henri moved to Pietrasanta in Tuscany in 1990. He wanted to learn how sculptures in precious white stone were born and developed directly from the hands of marble cutters and sculptors and in marble factories.\u00a0The historical reminder of the masterpieces of Michelangelo, Bernini, Canova, Rodin has made, over time, this piece of land, quarries and mountains located between Massa and Carrara, a real center where people come, pass and different artists live.<br><br>Henri therefore goes to Pietrasanta as did many other contemporary artists, such as Fernando Botero, Igor Mitoraj, Jean-Michel Folon.\u00a0However, unlike the others, he does not just pass through these lands, he stays there, he makes it his favorite place, as Kan Yasuda did.<br><br>It is also curious but quite significant that our artist decided to move from Paris, a place recognized worldwide as the peak of 19th-20th century art and the main capital of art in the world, to prefer to settle on the Carrara Riviera which, compared to the French metropolis, is really a peripheral locality.\n\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element

of his profession: he frequented the marble craftsmen.\u00a0The greatest works are, more often than not, first sketched out in plaster, then they are finalized with them, through the experience of continuous discussion and confrontation;\u00a0he produces different sculpture formats, from bas-reliefs to high-reliefs, from medium format subjects to imposing public works.<br><br>What characterizes him, since the first works that we know of him, is not so much the realism of the figures, but the alteration, the deliberate disproportion of the features, because it is precisely from this
