Albert
Martin founded the company in 1964. Inspired
by the
Celtic and Brittany’ culture he has created: statues, cribs,
sundials…
The historical research has always been fundamental.
Regaining
roots and origins by the objects contributes to
make the “Atelier
d’art” essence.
Reflexion and creation around the material and the sym-
bolism are
the major concerns for the Artist, going deeply
to find the inspiration.
Researching and expressing the symbols which cross over
the past
and represent a part of the history of each one.
Craft Industry has become the messenger of the past in
order to
live the present and inventing the future.
Albert Martin creates the material, material to
touch, the
granite makes safe and leads back towards our origins.
The original is modelled in clay or modelled in
cast or wax.
From the original, unique object, we build a mould which
will enable
the perfect reproduction.
From Brittany complex granite, after a couple of weeks
and
nine
interventions fully made by the hand, the objects
seem both identical
and different, as the human spirit
created it and the hand made
it.
The object is now ready to live with the one who will
choose it.
