Through his sculptures, he explores zones of tension between reality and imagination, the familiar and the strange, inviting the viewer into a sensitive and introspective experience.His characters appear inhabited by a silent history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The careful attention paid to detail, texture, and proportion lends the works a strong narrative power, in which <strong>each piece becomes a fragment of a world unto itself.<\/strong> His work questions the human condition and memory. He favors a poetic approach, sometimes tinged with irony or melancholy, leaving great freedom of interpretation to the viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exhibited and recognized on the international stage, St\u00e9phane Halleux has succeeded in reaching a wide audience, well beyond specialized circles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#b79f71;font-size:29px;font-style:normal;font-weight:200\">I make the toys I wish I\u2019d \u200b\u200bhad when I was a child\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St\u00e9phane Halleux, n\u00e9 en 1972 en Belgique, est un sculpteur dont le travail se situe \u00e0 la crois\u00e9e de la figuration et de l\u2019imaginaire.
