"Patrice Cadiou (France, 1947-2015) was a classical dancer turned sculptor, renowned for his dark, enigmatic works created from materials found in rubbish dumps near his home. His sculptures are reminiscent of Kongo nail fetishes, imbued with deep mystique and symbolism. Cadiou sought to understand and reveal the hidden message of his sculptures, saying: "When one of my sculptures has not yet delivered its message, when it does not yet speak to me, I try to listen to it, to modify it so that it reveals all its secrets to me" (Centre d'art contemporain de l'abbaye d'Auberive, Esprit singulier: fonds de l'abbaye d'Auberive, ed. Flammarion: Paris, 2016, p. 102).
Cadiou's artistic career took a decisive turn after he met the art dealer Gérard Laubie, which led to exhibitions at Raymond Cordier, Galerie Keller, Galerie Ridel and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris. Jean-Claude Volot, contemporary art collector and mayor of Auberive, played a crucial role in Cadiou's career. He collected his work and encouraged him to set up in Haute-Marne, at the Auberive Abbey contemporary art centre, where some of his creations were exhibited."
