The work of Martine Boileau (1923-2007) spans some sixty years, moving from almost classical realism to lyrical abstraction, rare in sculpture, before returning to dramatic figuration; her work ends with a premonitory vision of the upheavals wrought in our daily lives by the excessive immersion of the mobile phone. Martine Boileau has used a wide range of materials: she has worked in wood and clay (often resulting in bronze castings, which she has always reworked); she was one of the first artists to use resin in the 1960s, and one of the first to use polychrome resins.
