French artist Vincent Dubourg was born in 1977.He studied at Ecole de Design de Nantes.His work blends sculptural furniture and architectural elements.Deconstructed shapes and organic volumes create the illusion of destruction or creation captured in progress, with the dynamic artworks seemingly paused mid-movement.The artist uses both experimental and traditional crafting techniques to create his sculptural designs, including cabinet making and glass blowing as well as metal casting and wood bending.Vincent Dubourg’s work has been exhibited in both group and solo exhibitions in cities like NYC, Paris, Dubai, Miami, or Mexico City.

From his studio deep in the countryside, which in itself could pass for a monumental piece of art, the artist creates powerful works imbued with a strong connection with nature. Fascinated by a wide variety of materials and their intrinsic properties, Dubourg has worked alongside many professionals, founders, joiners, craftsmen of many trades, learning how those materials react to heat, how they can be moulded and pushed to their limits. His works are made of bronze, terracotta, aluminium, steel, wood, and more. Dubourg’s conceptual twists add a surreal element to traditional craftsmanship, though he never relinquishes his devotion for the search of perfection.

For Dubourg, furniture is only a pretext for exploring the meaning of art.It is not an end in itself but a means of embodying the artistic act in the material.In his hands, the object exceeds its function and becomes aesthetic, poetizing ordinary life.His works are made of bronze, terracotta, aluminum, steel, wood, and much more, playing on contrasts and fundamental oppositions — empty and full, earthly and celestial, masculine and feminine, wild and tame.His furniture becomes sculpture, and then the sculpture frees itself from any function and only exists to give body to the material.
