Louis Chanu

The inspiration for my work comes from nature, its varying qualities of light, its organic shapes and the complex relationship between people and nature...with the element of time causing endless change.

Louis Chanu, a South African sculptor, has been passionate about shaping form and emotion since childhood.

 

His work spans classical bronze figures, abstract organic shapes, and pioneering illuminated and transparent sculptures crafted from innovative bio-based resins.

 

Exploring the interplay of light and material, Chanu’s creations evolve with their surroundings, seamlessly merging art with environment.

 

Chanu lives near Cape Town, where he continues to innovate in sculptural materials.
