Biography
ZED (David Zeller) Born in 1976 in Mulhouse, self-taught sculptor, he refines his practice and works various materials. Since 2010, the full-time artist has been exploring his favorite material : acrylic glass.

His first woodcarvings represent dozens of bodies or faces, often very expressive.Sometimes classical, sometimes ethnic, his works are adorned with the noble character of wood : smooth and polished, they stimulate both sight and touch. Zed, "guided by his sensations", tries through his art to capture the multiplicity of human behaviors. Gradually, he freed himself from tradition and deepened his work in search of a universal, the essence of movement, he decided to deprive his sculptures of face, to free them from a realistic aesthetic that he described as "parasite".

He then designed his most famous work, the Flexo : a neutral character, with a unique silhouette, to support his research on attitudes and movement. Zed believes that "it is possible to transcribe all emotions, to say everything, just through a gesture". Through its varied postures, the Flexo embodies his desire to grasp the multiple, the gesture in its fluidity.
