Dominique Labauvie
Dominique Labauvie’s art embodies a minimal aesthetic within the realm of the sublime. His process primarily explores the medium of steel, which he manipulates to reveal its inherent fragility by using linework as a conduit for thought within a narrative context. By hand-cutting, welding, and shaping steel, he creates linear sculptures with an intriguing interplay of levity and gravity. Although inspired by natural landscapes, Labauvie’s work is continually shaped by reflections on his environment, socio-political issues, life, and love. Labauvie has been making prints since the 1980s, but his most recent work represents a transformative approach to printmaking. In this new series, he manipulates materials in his studio with a sculptor’s sensibility, allowing him to sustain his frontal engagement with space through both drawing and printmaking.
