About the artwork
Antoine Dufilho's sculpture reinterprets the legendary Porsche 930 Turbo through its characteristic visual vocabulary of fragmentation, rhythmic repetition and progressive volume. Created in a bright green, the work is made up of a succession of tubular elements that recompose the vehicle's silhouette. Each segment contributes to the illusion of movement, offering a different reading depending on the angle of view. The work rests on a polished steel plate, whose mirror effect splits the sculpture and accentuates its dynamism. This reflection contributes to the optical illusion so dear to Dufilho, playing on the visual lightness and materiality of metal. The result is a sculptural object where automotive design and architecture meet with elegance and precision.
Expert opinion
This piece perfectly illustrates the approach of Antoine Dufilho, who occupies a singular place in contemporary sculpture by hijacking the codes of industrial design to reveal its structural poetry. His reinterpretation of the Porsche 930 Turbo, a cult model of automotive heritage, testifies to a keen knowledge of proportions and an exceptional mastery of formal decomposition. The choice of bright green and polished steel reinforces the sculptural presence of the work, while the alternation of solids and voids creates a particularly effective play on perspective. The viewer is invited to turn around the object, mentally recomposing its silhouette and experiencing the artist's signature "motionless movement". This sculpture follows in the footsteps of Dufilho's most accomplished pieces, combining technical virtuosity, formal elegance and iconic power.
About the artist
Antoine Dufilho (born 1985 in Lille, France) is a contemporary artist and sculptor whose practice explores the relationship between movement, architecture and formal decomposition. Born into a family of artists and doctors, he began studying architecture before turning to sculpture, a discipline in which he finds total creative freedom.
His work is characterized by an aesthetic built around repetition, rhythm and structure. Antoine Dufilho fragments forms - often taken from the world of automobiles or modernist architecture - into a succession of planes, metal rods or cut-out volumes. This decomposition creates the illusion of movement, allowing the silhouettes to visually reconstitute themselves as the viewer moves around the work.
Fascinated by engineering, mechanics and design, he revisits automotive icons such as Bugatti, Ferrari and Porsche, reinterpreting them through a refined sculptural style combining steel, aluminum and resin. His sculptures combine technical precision, a sense of rhythm and an almost architectural dimension.
Antoine Dufilho exhibits regularly in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Asia. His works feature in numerous private collections, and appeal as much to contemporary art lovers as to design and automotive enthusiasts. His ability to transform industrial symbols into poetic, dynamic sculptures makes him one of the singular voices on the French contemporary scene.
