Branly Cadet (born c. 1966) is an American sculptor who is trained in the classical tradition of both figurative and portrait sculpture.[1]
Born and raised in New York City, Cadet trained from Cornell University and the New York Academy of Art as well at the Vaugel Sculpture Studio and L'Ecole Albert Defois in France. He is descended from Haitian visual artist Georges Liautaud.[1]
Cadet has work places in both Oakland, California and New York City. Along with creating his own art work, also accepts sculpture commissions.[1]
