Ivan Maussion

Born in Nantes in 1951, this artist-built life follows a steady path through regional studios and collaborative spaces that honor craft and vision. Grounded in a meticulous attention to material, the work traverses disciplines, weaving drawing, sculpture, and installation into tactile, contemplative experiences. The early years offered immersion in color, line, and form, while later practice emphasized process, dialogue, and the phenomenology of space. Across projects, the practice demonstrates a commitment to inquiry—moving between reclaimed surfaces, experimental processes, and site-responsive works that invite public engagement. Residence and study across varied environments shaped a patient, exploratory approach, one that remains attentive to ambiguity, nuance, and the quiet economies of making.
