“At the beginning, there is nothing, only a steel base lying flat on the ground and above it, two or three cubic meters to fill. The goal is to find the sculpture within the void it is meant to occupy, to create the relationship between the object and its spatial setting.

Cyrille Husson’s statuary is a raw expression that uses material and form as vectors of feeling in a search for grace and balance. His work plays with contrasts: the artificial (technique) versus the search for natural obviousness, the modernity (temporality) of forms versus the quest for the immutable.

In this sense, Cyrille Husson’s work is a celebration of space and physical laws. The sculptor seeks the natural obviousness that connects earth and air, creates silence around it, invites contemplation, and thereby stops time to allow only the pure sensation of space and oneself immersed in it.”

En ce sens, le travail de Cyrille Husson est une célébration de l’espace et des lois physiques. Le
sculpteur recherche l’évidence naturelle qui relie la terre et l’air, qui crée le silence autour d’elle,
invite à la contemplation et par là, arrête le temps pour ne laisser place qu’à la sensation pure de l’espace et de soi-même immergé.»
