Descendant d'une illustre famille niçoise, Arson est un libertaire transgressif.
Né à Paris en 1953, il entre aux Beaux-Arts à 16 ans. D'abord intéressé par la peinture, il s'oriente vers l'architecture et revient finalement à la peinture, puis travaille la terre, apprend la poterie, le modelage, la sculpture et le moulage. Il revient à ses premiers amours en affichant une tonalité personnelle affirmée et originale.
La Femme étant pour lui, un idéal fantasmé, on peut retrouver chez Arson, un goût fétichiste pour Elle. Mais il nous invite à regarder au-delà, vers ses réalisations singulières, comme sur l'environnement, qui sont autant d'histoires, autant de rêves ou d'indignations, où l'on peut puiser la poésie de son travail, y trouver une invention originale, pour s'évader d'un monde sans rêves, trop écrit à l'avance, trop consensuel, qui ouvrira votre imaginaire.

The Diffusart Gallery was created in 2019 to mainly distribute, sell and publicize the work of the sculptor A.r.s.o.n. It is this structure that manages copyrights, sales, shipping and international representations.
Initially created in Gordes and Cannes, it is today in Drôme Provençale / France. It has its headquarters and a showroom where you will be received by appointment. You may be able to meet Arson in his studio, a short distance from the exhibition.
“L’Esculmau” or the passion of loving art, is like an offering on the altar of the voluptuous and decadent consumption of an outrageous world.
An allegorical bridge between gallant love and gourmet art, ''l'Esculmau'' is not a body, nor a woman, nor an ice cream, it is a ''card of tenderness'', doubly delicious , doubly provocative, suggesting earthly and refined pleasures at the same time as an invitation to rise to the highest, like a mythology of love.

The sculpture of the rider embodies a fusion between the majestic strength of this animal and the timeless elegance of a chess piece. By choosing this subject, the artist captured the duality between the raw power and finesse characteristic of the horse. The sculpture's fluid lines express graceful movement, while subtle details, such as the mane, add a lively dimension to the work. The artist's inspiration is rooted in the balance between nature and strategy of the game of chess. The nuances of each movement of the horse, ranging from tranquility to displayed power, are reflected in the artistic choices, creating a piece that transcends the simple decorative object to become a symbolic representation of life itself.
The emotions transmitted through this sculpture oscillate between contemplation and admiration for ephemeral beauty. Arson's idea was to create a thought-provoking work, inspiring viewers to explore the complexity of existence through the eyes of a horse, while hinting at the strategy and planning required in the game of chess.
Inhabited by the idea he has that artists of all disciplines are the testimony of their time and at the risk of displeasing or shocking, he offers through this contemporary sculpture, a reflection on our greedy capitalist world, without moral values or spirituality.
For the French sculptor, art and sculpture in particular are the legacy that artists will leave over time, as a testimony to the best trace of man.
His sculptural work has evolved over the years and, after a period that he describes as "surreal" (see his sculpture "Muslim" or his creation "the telephone"), he went through a pop art and colorful period with the " Esculmaux” or “les Bonbons” to speak only of these spanking sculptures, which would be pure provocations, suitable for reflection on the hypocritical and unspoken taboos which persist in today's society.
