About the Artist

Stéphane Cipre (1968)

Stéphane Cipre has laid deep roots in Nice, to the extent that one might think he was born in Paris by mistake. He even studied the Ecole du Louvre's program in Nice. Prior to devoting his energy to sculpture, he spent ten years working in fashion. During this initial career, he came to master every

step of the fashion creation process in the workshop, under the supervision of his father, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, visiting fashion fairs and haute couture showrooms in order to remain at the forefront of excellence. And yet it was without regret that, nearly 20 years ago, he traded his sewing machine for a welding machine. Nowadays, he produces sculpture at a pace and with a passion that are both mind boggling.
