Profile

Samuel Latour is a sculptor based in Rabastens, near Toulouse, where he lives and works.
A graduate of the École Boulle in Paris, he specialized in artistic turning, particularly in wood and bronze. He subsequently enriched his practice by collaborating with designers, artisans, and artists in workshops and art foundries.
His work sculpts an intimate relationship with the material. Whether in wood, bronze, steel, or plaster, Samuel Latour blends rigorous technique with sensitive intuition. Through precise gestures—turning, molding, and chiseling—he explores the balance between fluid lines and structured forms, between stability and movement.
His sculptures are conceived as volumes to be written, conveying an abstract language made of lines, suspended gestures, and sketched geometries. Each work reveals the traces of its creation, combining formal rigor and vitality of gesture. Based in his studio on the banks of the Tarn River, he develops an approach in which sculpture becomes a space for artistic research and an extension of the body in movement.

His work has been supported by the Rémy Cointreau Foundation and is featured in the Michelangelo Foundation's Homo Faber Guide, which promotes excellence in contemporary crafts and expertise.
