Sophie Delaporte is exhibiting her new series “Sculpting Color” during the Rencontres d’Arles at the Palais de Luppé, echoing the plaster and bronze works and paintings from the collection of Luppé’s catalog raisonné.
On the occasion of this project, the artist offers fifteen photographs in monumental format, playing with the disruption of proportions for an unprecedented organic journey. Installed in several rooms of the Luppé palace, the free and powerful bodies spring from the stone.
Inspired by the shows of Pina Bausch and her poetic and funny look at masculinity, or the relationship between men and women in our societies, the artist uses color to sublimate her projects during her in situ shots, with dancers.
