Philippe Malouin, Bowl 37

Philippe Malouin’s practice is located at the junction point between craftsmanship, sculpture and industrial design. In this new body of work, he explores the relationship of lighting, furniture and sculpture, threading the historical and the cultural through a modern lens. This work participated in his exhibition Steel Works that took place at The Breeder in October 2021.  All works were produced in two parts in Brighton, UK and Athens, Greece and both their colors and construction are inspired by each city and its waste material that the artist discovered in scrap yards. Malouin creates here an interesting dialogue between materials, form and functionality and assembles these elements in a way that is both innovative and compelling, ensuring he captures all the possibilities the material has to offer.
