THE METAL VIRTUOSO WHO REINVENTS PARISIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP
From architectural furniture to sculptures, light structures, and ink drawings, each creation tells a story and evokes an emotion. Steiner's work transcends simple objects, becoming a dialogue between the artist, the material, and the space.
Discover a world where steel becomes a poem and light a melody.
Steiner's gallery and studio in the heart of the Bastille area in Paris are designed as a manifesto. This is where he explores infinite possibilities, forging a balance between American audacity and French savoir-faire.
Adam Steiner is a New York-born sculptor who has been based in Paris for over 30 years. After earning a Master of Fine Arts from San Diego State University, he moved to Paris to further hone his vision at the Beaux-Arts.
Steiner's work centers on the fundamental question of structure, exploring the relationship between organic cells and monumental architecture.
He freely experiments with the linearity and plasticity of steel, approaching the French industrial heritage with an American perspective that reveals a raw yet delicate poetry.
“France is where I truly connected with the history behind my tools and the richness of traditional techniques. America might have shaped my initial vision, but France was where I was able to infuse my work with soul and develop its distinct, seasoned feel.”
