Boulloud returns to Twenty First Gallery with his solo exhibition Touching Time, showcasing modern-day alchemy inspired by cells and space through wood and metal object.
French designer and artist Erwan Boulloud’s creations blur the boundaries between art and science, tradition and technology, the ephemeral and the eternal. His inspirations are as diverse as they are profound, ranging from microscopic cells to astronomical phenomena, obscure botanical species to medieval jewellery. Yet, at the heart of his work lies a deep reverence for the passage of time and the traces it leaves behind. “For me, the success of a piece is not just measured by its aesthetic qualities; it must above all be justified by an intellectual approach, the expression of an idea,” the France-based artist asserts. It is this passionate rigour, paired with his exceptional craftsmanship, that transforms his objects into captivating narratives encapsulating the microscopic and the grand.
