WHAT
Known for his mastery of plaster, the New York-based French artist’s new series introduces marine and vegetal forms, fostering playful and unexpected encounters. His creations are influenced by the Mediterranean’s rich history and biodiversity, and reflect his contemplations on fossilisation. The artist’s genesis in Antibes, South of France, underpins his wall sculptures, where the region’s unique natural tapestry fuels his creativity, hinting at the intersection of natural and art historical narratives. The artist interjects rhythmic sounds such as AH BON!, CHUT!, HÉ HÉ!, POUAH!, OUF! that infuse vitality into his still compositions.

WHY
The artist’s innovative exploration extends to incorporating vibrant oil pastels and sheets of paper into his sculptures, enriching their textures and colours. The infusion of new elements enhances the dynamic interplay between shapes, and emphasises organic curves within his creations. By fostering a nuanced dialogue among materials, forms, textures, and colours, his sculptural approach transforms these influences into innovative artworks.
