About The ArTIST
Delphine Brabant

Delphine Brabant comes from a family steeped in artistic tradition, which has profoundly shaped her creative journey. Now based in Paris, her work is deeply influenced by her rich familial roots and the vibrant cultural milieu of her upbringing.

Artistic Vision and Style

Delphine’s sculptures embody a delicate interplay of geometric shapes, meticulously assembled to create sleek architectural lines. This intricate composition reflects her fascination with construction and spatial dynamics. The balance of light and shadow is pivotal in her work, achieved through a strategic use of both empty and filled spaces. This dynamic interaction imbues her sculptures with a sense of vibrancy and tension, as if they are engaged in a dialogue of opposing forces.

Approach and Techniques

Delphine approaches her sculptures with the precision of an architect, interlocking simple lines and forms to achieve harmonious compositions. Her pursuit of balance is nearly obsessive, yet she embraces the inherent contradictions within her art. The sculptures display a precarious stability, merging strength and delicacy through rigorous sensitivity. Her choice of materials often contrasts the noble and enduring with the raw and repurposed, crafting a rich tapestry of textures and forms.

Material and Methodology

Delphine’s artistic process is marked by her exploration of diverse materials. From traditional mediums like bronze, steel, and concrete to the more transient clay and plaster, she harnesses the unique qualities of each to realize her vision. Recently, she has begun incorporating Corten steel into her monumental pieces, adding a new dimension to her work. Her sensitivity to materials—whether it’s the surprise of wood grain, the hue of plaster, or the malleability of clay—underpins her sculptural practice.

Inspiration and Evolution

Her inspiration often arises from keen observations of landscapes. In her recent works, Delphine translates the lines, furrows, and units of the natural world into her sculptures, creating new perspectives that are both linear and ethereal. Initially focused on human figures, her early works featured elongated forms that represented "forests of beings." Over time, her focus has shifted towards abstract, geometric shapes, reflecting her enduring fascination with verticality and upward momentum.

Delphine Brabant's art is a testament to the dialogue between structure and fluidity, inviting viewers to engage with the delicate balance of her sculptural forms.
