Nicolas Alquin, and al., Vincent Dubourg, Paris, 2017, reproduced p. 180-181
Vincent Dubourg creates works that straddle the border between design and sculpture, distinguishing himself by his talent for transforming raw materials into functional artistic creations. In Hommage à Klein, he reinterprets the confident, a chair created under the French Second Empire, and explores the relationship between natural and manufactured materials, color and form. The colore﷽d imprints on the seats and backrests echo Yves Klein's Anthropometries of the 1960s. The choice of pink and blue also refers 💯to the artist's two emblematic colors.
