Luigi Honorat: Sculpting the Virtual Between Reality and Code

Luigi Honorat, an artist born in Paris in 1986 and currently based in Tokyo, defies easy classification by blending sculpture with computer-generated imagery. A self-taught expert in 3D graphics, he also teaches sculpture at Musashino Art University, where he studied. His artistic exploration centers on the dichotomy between reality and virtuality, as well as matter and data, showcasing forms that exist in a liminal space between the tangible and the abstract. By integrating sculptural principles into digital realms, Honorat employs procedural modeling to facilitate the algorithmic emergence of forms. His 'Intangible' series, born from limited studio constraints, investigates the concepts of weight and space in digital objects, featuring fragmented human figures, cubic structures, and photogrammetry, along with prints and immersive installations.
