About the Item
L’une ne va pas sans l’autre is a bronze sculpture by contemporary artist Martine Demal, dimensions are 26.5 × 33 × 19 cm (10.4 × 12.9 × 7.4 in).
The sculpture is signed and numbered, it is part of a limited edition of 8 editions + 4 artist’s proofs, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
This piece reveals a harmonious interplay of forms that appear to float in space. By abstracting the shapes, the artist breathes dynamic energy into the material. Through the careful choreography of solid and empty spaces, she draws out an almost musical rhythm from her abstract sculptures.
French sculptress Martine Demal has chosen the human form as the foundation of her artistic exploration. Her creative process is driven by a quest for both formal and dynamic balance, which naturally led her toward more abstract expression.
In her pursuit of purity in form, the artist has gradually stripped away anthropomorphic features, allowing the essence of the human figure and a distinctive rhythmic flow to emerge. The written word, as a vehicle of meaning, has become a guiding force in her research, offering endless nuances and subtle layers of interpretation.
Original artwork: the sculpture is signed and available in 8 editions and 4 artist’s proofs. The base is part of the sculpture (welded); the given dimensions include both the sculpture and the base. Dimensions of the base: 6,5 H x 19 x 33 cm (2.5 × 7.5 × 12.9 in).

Martine Demal
With her contemporary sculptures, Martine Demal explores the different possibilities of bronze, pushing her chosen material to its limits while embarking on a journey of more than several decades toward self-realization and reflection.
Born in 1948, Demal graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1970. The French artist's career began in graphic design and ceramics. However, she discovered a passion for sculpting after meeting celebrated French sculptor Louis Derbré. Derbré invited Demal to become his student, but she declined, insisting she had to find her own style.
Inspired by the human body, Demal initially worked with live models. “In a human body, you have a landscape, a painting, a volume; you have everything,” she said. As her sculpting process evolved, Demal’s human sculptures transformed from figurative to more abstract forms.
From her workshop and atelier in Ivry-sur-Seine in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, Demal continues to challenge herself, seeking to create bronze sculptures that represent power and strength and materialize as blocky, dense forms as well as slender human figures. The interplay of shadow and light is a recurring theme in her abstract and figurative sculptures such as In Line (1994), The Passage (1997) and Writing is a Journey (2018).
Demal regularly exhibits her works in solo and group shows in France and throughout Europe and has won numerous awards. These include the Louis Derbré Prize, the Jacqueline Thome-Patenôtre Prize, a medal awarded by the town of Garches and the Pierre Gianadda Foundation Award, presented by the Académie des Beaux-Arts — Institut de France.
