Hubert Le Gall honors the traditions of decor and knows how to be fashionable. Many French stamps are melted in his style. Someone Le Gall recalls about the pre-war Paris with the midnight celebrations of the surrealists, someone - an easy nonsense of the film "Amelie".

Hubert Le Gall began his career as an insurer and accountant, but quickly got bored and began to paint portraits to order in oil and tempera. Truly famous as a screenwriter of major museums. He was invited to the Luxembourg Palace, the Museum of Decorative and Applied Art. Le Gall designed a grand retrospective of the work of Claude Monet in the Grand Palais, in 2007 - “Design vs. Design” and “Crime and Punishment”, and in 2015 - “Pierre Bonnard” in the Orsay Museum. Hubert Le Gall is known in museum circles as an experienced and resourceful designer of blockbuster exhibitions. His record includes the design of monographic exhibitions by Giotto and Caravaggio at the Jacquemart-Andre Museum, as well as initiated and embodied by the House of Hermés Dans l’Oeil du Flâneur, which was successfully shown in London and Paris.

It will seem strange, but furniture, unlike painting and sculpture, set me free as an artist. ” Fleur of fun and looseness hovers over the works of Le Gall. However, he manages to be refined and provoke reflection. In addition, Le Gall distinguishes skill execution.

He works in bronze, plaster, plastic, wood, glass and ceramics. The master is inspired by the swollen clock of Salvador Dali, Cocteau’s drawings, the elongated forged forms of Alberto Giacometti. However, numerous quotes do not crush the viewer monotonous historicity. All of them are material for artistic transformations. “To this day, many people are addicted to everyday life and unnecessarily sacralize objects, taking away their function. I act on the contrary, I make art objects functional - in order to bring them closer to people. ”
