Alain Séchas: Drawing in Volume

artist · 2026-04-24

Alain Séchas's early works from the 1980s-1990s were more like drawings in volume than sculptures. He continuously deepens his line—black or white, straight or broken, abstract or plastic (as in his iconic Cat series)—pushing a tension that gives meaning, structure, and plasticity to his works on canvas.
