Henri Iglesis

Born in 1964 in Perpignan, Henri Iglésis is a French artist of Catalan origin. Born into a metal-working family, he was a boilermaker-welder when he began creating sculptures using a technique he invented: blown sheet metal. The idea of injecting air into a piece of welded sheet metal came to him in 2008, when he was working on a statue of his son. This combination of sheet metal and air has been patented by the artist, who has based his work on this innovative technique. His pop-colored sculptures bring him closer to the work of Jeff Koons, whose works also take the form of helium balloons. Represented by several galleries, including Galerie Guyot in Saint-Paul-de-Vence since 2012, Galerie DEZA in Roanne since 2018 and Galerie Frédéric Got, Henri Iglésis is an artist who is exhibited throughout France and internationally.
