Alban Lanore

Alban Lanore (b. 1966, FR) is a French artist who creates stunning abstract sculptures from burnt wood. His works are a reflection of his deep connection with nature and his ability to transform its raw materials into breathtaking, one-of-a-kind artworks. His radical shapes carved from sections of natural tree trunk and then charred using similar techniques to the Japanse Shou Sugi Ban.

The burnt wood gives the pieces a dark and mysterious quality, which is enhanced by the artist's use of abstract shapes and forms. His sculptures are bold and striking. Despite the abstract nature of his work, there is a clear sense of emotion and intention behind each piece. Lanore's sculptures are not just decorative objects, but powerful expressions of the artist's creative vision.
