Known for his witty approach to functional pieces and design objects, Le Gall is inspired by archetypal imagery from art history such as Andy Warhol’s daisies, Roy Lichtenstein’s sunsets, and Jean-Pierre Raynaud’s pots, creating unique pieces and small editions built from classic materials such as bronze, brass, exotic woods, and velvet. Making lavish use of fine furniture craft techniques including marquetry, gold leaf, and Lesage embroidery, Le Gall pushes the limits of his craft with what he calls “in between objects” that stand halfway between sculpture and decor, questioning the imperative to functionality. Plants and animals are recurring themes within Le Gall’s oeuvre of furniture, lighting, and decorative objects: anthropomorphic shapes which suggest allegories of desire, innocence, and our animal nature, demonstrating the artist’s poetic spirit and sense of humor united with a fondness for luxury.
