Thomas Lemut was born in 1961 into a family of military and foresters. This double lineage and a very young immersion in an artistic universe will considerably influence him.
According to him, movement is the best way to approach life cycles.
He has had several careers, being in turn a sculptor, a worker, a film producer or an artistic director.
Today he continues his artistic work around memory. Memory of the First World War with Trees of War (an exhibition + a book + a documentary film + a plantation - Autumn 2019 PARIS) placing the tree, the wood as the bearer and symbol of this history. He also continues to create furniture and sculptures.
The love for cartography that he exploits in his art reveals a need to situate himself.
The design and production of his furniture, so structured and in line, is a way of situating his own body and that of others in space, in an interior.
He uses only durable materials for his creations. By his heritage, wood but also metal are his preferred materials but he can also create in glass or ceramic.
As long as he encounters the material, with which he can't help but come into contact, he shares his suppliers' workshops for his creations. Primacy of the element which determines half the form, the conception of his works.
His furniture is moreover often made of assembly, as for these wireless table lamps which mark the beginning of his collaboration with the gallery and which we will present for the first time at the PAD Paris. Assembly and mobility of these lamps which are by extension representative by their successive layers of wood and metal capable of rotation, of the movements of life cycles.
