Bruno Charpentier
Bruno Charpentier was a French ceramic artist active during the 1960s, associated with the village of La Borne, a renowned center for artistic ceramics in France. Although specific biographical details such as his birth year are scarce, his most notable work is a 3-square-meter stoneware wall panel created around 1960 for the DIGAN edition at La Borne. This piece exemplifies his involvement in the postwar French ceramics movement.
Charpentier’s style followed the tradition of raw stoneware, characteristic of La Borne, emphasizing natural textures and sculptural forms. His creations, including the mentioned wall panel, reflect an artistic approach that values the expression of raw material and the simplicity of form.
Today, his works are rare and sought after by collectors of studio ceramics. They occasionally appear on specialized platforms or at auctions dedicated to mid-20th-century ceramic art.
