Richard Sossler

French artist Richard Sossler (b. 1950, Normandy) has built a multifaceted practice spanning painting and sculpture, with a presence in exhibitions across France and abroad. Active as a socially engaged street artist, Sossler insists on making his paintings accessible and affordable, believing art should be within reach for all. His work frequently employs symbolism and combines humor, parody, and imagination to address global issues and invite collective reflection. Sossler also creates sculptures from reclaimed wood salvaged from the pinasses of the Arcachon Basin and interprets these forms in metal, drawing on his background as a blacksmith.
