Presentation
Sculptor
Paul Toupet is a French artist born in 1979. Since 1996, he has been exploring the theme of human representation. Successively evoking childhood, mummies, the petrified bodies of Pompéï, African or religious art, Paul Toupet’s work is filled with multiple references that he mixes and diverts in order to create a poetic and provoking world, either playful or disquieting according to one’s own perception.
Facing Paul Toupet’s sculptures, picturing playful children and teenagers with bunny masks, an identification process begins due to the scale and apparent humanity of the characters. The encounter with them nevertheless turns into a destabilizing experience because of the masks, that not only hide their face but also maybe, symbolically, their true intentions.
