While André Raboud's sculptural work enjoys a certain renown, his inks on paper remain little known, if not confidential.

Although they can be understood as preparatory sketches for future plastic works, they nevertheless contain the purity and dexterity of Asian calligraphy. This comparison is not just an illusion, as the sculptor draws his sketches with Japanese ink and brushes. In his drawings, we can perceive the fluid movement of the sculpture in the making. It's not the form that predominates, but the energy that will emanate from the future work.

This exhibition links original drawings and sculptures. An opportunity to grasp the essence of a creative process.

André Raboud has presented his work at numerous exhibitions in Switzerland, Europe, Asia (Japan) and the United States (New York). In 2017, he was awarded the Prix Léonard Gianadda by the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Paris.
