David Décamp — À propos — Slash Paris

David Décamp questions insatiably man, nature and their sometimes destructive relationship through his sculptures, installations and drawings.

Self-taught artist, his view has always been linked to the forest, since he was raised in the moutain ranges of Jura and then worked as a woodsman and tree-trimmer. At 23 years old, an accident happens ; from there, it is through art that he will be reborn. First he ventures towards stone and wood carving , and at a turning point he confronts many different materials which allow his sculptures to dialogue in echo until gradually going towards installation. “The most important thing is to search not to find, he says, searching is a way to transcend”.
