about: 

Yann Guillon is a French sculptor who lives and works in Baden, France.

After a classical training at the Paris school of Fine Arts, Yann Guillon focused his work on the human body. He uses an expressionist approach to convey the strength and life of the male body. For the female body, his work is softer, less hard, celebrating its sensuality and generosity.

His creations vary in height from 10 centimeters to 2 meters. Yann Guillon often brings to life segments of bodies which, being in bronze and coated by a classical lustre, evoke the sculptures of antiquity with their universal qualities of humanity.
