Stéphane Dugied

After studying aquaculture and taxidermy, I turned to dentures; today I let myself be guided by my steel wire. I like to start from an existing idea by appropriating it and imagine how to reinterpret it.

My inspiration of the moment is the sketch of nudes. I find it fascinating to be able to bring out an emotion and suggestive sensuality from a few main traits. At the same time, during a nice meeting, I learned to weld with an electric arc. This addition sculpture technique allows me to confront the raw and cold material of steel with natural and feminine curves. I also have the pleasure of discovering on the wall the projected shadow of my work, evolving according to the orientation of the light. This contrast obtained responds to this deep desire to create.
