Hugo Servanin

Hugo Servanin is a sculpture and installation artist who, though starting with parts of human bodies molded from volunteers, often creates completely fictional hybrid “beings” which the artist calls “Giants” or multisensorial environments that involve technology and the most advanced skills and techniques.

 

Whilst Servanin deftly places himself in a line of “classical” sculptors, he takes care to upset the conventional tradition by dramatizing the body and placing it in opposition with factory-made utensils and environments. In doing so, his work becomes as much conceptual as it is figurative and traditional.

 

Made in a variety of materials that include bronze, metal, silicone and using numerous others including sand, water and frost, Hugo Servanin has vastly expanded the scope of sculpture to make it enter a different realm altogether.

 

Born in 1994 in France, Hugo Servanin is a graduate of the National School of Arts and Crafts. He now lives and works in Paris. He has had solo shows at Nicoletti London and Magasins Généraux Paris. He took part in group shows at Magician Space Beijing, Galerie Jerome Poggi Paris and Soissons Museum.
