Born in Strasbourg in 1994, Max Coulon joined ENSBA, Paris’ prestigious school of fine arts, in 2014. He spent 2 years in James Rielly’s studio, before joining that of Dominique Figarella and Pascal Aumaitre. As his interest in wooden sculpture grew, he joined Stephan Balkenhol’s studio at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Karlsruhe, where he studied for three years. Since graduating from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021, Max Coulon has been represented by Galerie Romero Paprocki in France and Galerie Nosbaum Reding in Luxembourg and Belgium.
"I sculpt as I speak a language that I have little command of, by making detours to invoke a word I don't know, to say the 'sky of the room' because I don't know how to say 'ceiling', to pronounce backwards a sentence that I have thought upside down, or to try to translate a very specific expression as it is and watch it resonate in the language where it no longer means anything." Max Coulon.
