In an article published by La Nouvelle République on September 7, 2023, the newspaper highlighted the encounter of three major artists: sculptors Pierre Matter, Pierre-Jean Chabert, and visual artist Nental, brought together in Tours on rue George-Sand for a group exhibition curated by Nathalie Molisson.
The three artists’ works resonate through strength, poetry, and materiality.
Pierre-Jean Chabert, a wildlife sculptor based at Ateliers de la Morinerie in Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, presented his clay and bronze pieces, including his strikingly realistic primate heads.
The article emphasizes the complementarity of their worlds — from Matter’s mechanical animals to Nental’s transparent collages and Chabert’s powerful organic modeling.
