“Nicole Taillon’s sculptures are easily recognizable. Her pieces represent human, animal, or in-between forms, inspired by mythology and astrology. Her bronze creatures move in space with expressive and exaggerated gestures, in a perceptible tension where balance is never acquired. “
“Her favorite material is bronze, but other materials such as stone, quartz or glass are sometimes added to the mix, thus offering textures filled with possibilities. For some time now, the artist has added an element of jewelry to her pieces, with gold and silver plating (she uses, among other things, twenty-four carat gold leaf). This new technique brings both a coloring effect to the sculpture and an additional preciousness that resembles that of a jewel.” “Luxury Magazine, January 2011, Nicole Taillon: Le succès retentissant d’une sculpteure de bronze»
