Biography

[edit]

Éric Ferber was born in Étain, Meuse.[1] Ferber developed an interest in metallurgy as a child, when he would watch a craftsman at work in an old forge near his home.[2] He became an apprentice steelworker at 14.[1] He often works with aluminum, stainless steel and weathering steel to create sculptures and decorative art for green spaces.[2][3] In 2014, he opened up an art exhibition in Henriville, where his studio is located. In 2018, an exhibition of 89 weathered steel cubes was opened at Jardin Des Arts in Châteaubourg.[4]

In the spring of 2020 he moved to Paimpol,[5] where he began to create a sculpture garden which is scheduled to open in 2022.[6]
