Baptiste Debombourg

an artist to watch...


polybric

"Polybric is an educational and entertaining construction game allowing both boys and girls to assemble and build as they wish, with imagination and creativity. The piece is in a real public toilet and it was functional for couple of days."


aggravure

"The protagonist Icarus, the Mannerism of the Renaissance and the symbol of sublime power Air Force One -the plane of the American President- are the main points in this work.
The combination of pathos, beauty and unnatural movement of Italian Mannerists concealing some aggression.
Is it why this “Superman” flies straight down towards the earth? Here it's used the tacker as a material and media, which plays with the contemporary agression and the profanized utility of the everyday life."



crystal palace

"It's an urban sculpture. It seems that something violent happened to this bus stop, but actually the broken glass shows more something precious.
The situation is turned – the attention is grabbed from the aesthetic, not from the act of destruction. The intention was to provoke some emotion or empathy."
