Michel Guino is a French sculptor. Working with salvaged materials, his work is marked by the use of metal, in particular jet engine fins and propellers that he recovers from scrap merchants.

It was in the studio of his father, a sculptor of Catalan origin, that he came into contact with the world of art and form from an early age. After attending the Acad\u00e9mie de la Grande Chaumi\u00e8re in 1943, the following year he entered the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he met C\u00e9sar, Albert F\u00e9raud and Philippe Hiquily, who had also studied with Marcel Gimond. In 1946, Michel Guino moved with a group of artists to Opp\u00e8de-le-Vieux, a village in the Vaucluse region. There, in the absence of marble or bronze, too expensive for his fledgling career, Guino worked mainly with stone, which he found in abundance, and plaster, which was inexpensive. Driven by the same concern for economy, he began to explore salvaged materials. In 1948, he married Lise Pr\u00e9vost, from whom he later separated, but with whom he had three children: Clotilde, Isabelle and Guillaume. That same year, he discovered the work of Julio Gonzalez, a Catalan like his father, whose work enlightened and stimulated him, showing him the way to metal.<\/p>\n In 1951, he fully embraced metal sculpture: brass, lead and iron became his materials. Metal,” writes Guino, “allows us a new space, a more cosmic conception of form and light, which remains the real material to handle. His first metal sculptures were mainly spindly figures made from salvaged metal objects: horse-shoeing nails, keys and foundry dross were his raw materials. He then progressively explored and experimented with abstraction: “Initially largely figurative, his works soon became lighter, purer and more ethereal, while remaining marked for a long time by obvious references to human morphology”, writes Jean-Luc Epivent.<\/p>\n Read the full biography<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” z_index=”500″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||1px|||” header_2_text_align_tablet=”” header_2_text_align_phone=”center” header_2_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_menu menu_id=”264″ menu_style=”centered” active_link_color=”#000000″ dropdown_menu_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” dropdown_menu_line_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” menu_font=”–et_global_body_font|300||on|||||” menu_text_color=”#000000″ menu_font_size=”16px” menu_letter_spacing=”2px” background_enable_color=”off” text_orientation_tablet=”” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment_tablet=”” module_alignment_phone=”center” module_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_menu][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.7.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(216,216,216,0.11)” global_module=”8808″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_line_height=”1.9em” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”23px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
