Raised between France and the Azores, he combines within his sculptures two landscapes that seem impossible to reconcile, yet continue to dialogue within him. He often works with bronze or cast materials, which appear to freeze movement: matter caught in the instant between eruption and solidification.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"565\" data-end=\"826\">David
