Arno Gasquet
Biography
Arno Gasquet is an internationally acclaimed French & Venetian artist and philosopher best known for his monumental chromatic steel sculptures that fuse religion, science, and beauty. He emerged as a leading voice of the post-modern art era, questioning the symmetry between faith and scientific inquiry in his “Book of Genesis” series.
Artistic Philosophy and Style
Explores the interplay of religion, faith, and scientific law through geometric abstraction.
Works primarily in chromatic steel, but also employs carbon, acrylics, and mixed media.
Notable series include “Abstract Genesis,” “Chromatic Animal,” “Oracle,” and “Les Dieux Infinity”.
Seeks to create a temporal journey where art becomes a philosophical bridge between divine and empirical worlds.
