"A major monograph dedicated to contemporary French

designer, sculptor, and painter Hubert Le Gall. French artist Hubert Le Gall's work defies classification

by genre or artistic movement-he seamlessly blends

sculpture with design in a unique style born out of his

singular imagination. Over the past twenty years, Le

Gall gained international renown through numerous

exhibitions and is featured in galleries around the world,

from London to Shanghai and from New York to Beirut.

This monograph is a curation of the artist's work by

Pamela Mullin, who, over many years, has become one

of his most devoted collectors. Their relationship is

grounded in the juncture where their common interests

and

different

perspectives

as

artist

and

collector

combine. Their shared passion for joyful and cultivated

yet offbeat creations is evident in this selection of

Le

Gall's key creations, most of which were photographed

in situ at Mullin's seventeenth-century manor in Saint- Calais, Normandy. These works demonstrate Le Gall's

exceptional craftsmanship in his use of noble materials

such

as

bronze,

the

simultaneously

naturalistic

and

sculptural style of their lines, and their references to

art and decorative art history. From the commanding

trumeau, created especially for Mullin, to the many

decorative

guéridon

tables, chandeliers, ""flower tables,""

sculptural vases, screens, and other commodes, each one

of his creations is at home within the world of the French

Classical-style estate. They evoke Le Gall's numerous

sources of inspiration, which include the perfection of

Pompeian relics, the sophistication of eighteenth-century

furnishings, the imaginative freedom of the Art Nouveau

movement, but also Pop Art, culminating in pieces that

are firmly rooted in the present."

Reviews for Hubert Le Gall: Fabula

...he has a ravishing quasi-monograph out from Flammarion ($150) that shows the art works he's made for an American collector's hunting lodge in Normandy, among other designs. -- NEW YORK TIMES
