Hubert Duprat's Sculptural Process at Galerie Art: Concept

The exhibition by Hubert Duprat at Galerie Art: Concept in Paris, which runs until March 10, showcases cubes made of plexiglass and modeling clay, furthering his investigation into sculpture and artifacts. Since 1983, Duprat has been producing pieces that challenge traditional definitions of sculpture. Notable past exhibitions include the Centre international d'art et du paysage de Vassivière-en-Limousin in 2008 and Frac Languedoc-Roussillon in 2009. His work, reminiscent of a Renaissance cabinet of curiosities, now emphasizes the significance of materials and tools. In the early 1980s, he innovatively employed caddisfly larvae to craft sculptures using pearls and gold dust, securing a patent for this method in 1983. His "cassé-collé" series from the 1990s involved the breaking and gluing of stones, highlighting contrasting actions.
