101 - Jimmy Dupont

Jimmy Dupont Corps Premier A figurative sculpture featuring a stylized body and rough-hewn features. Patinated bronze Date of creation: circa 2020 H 17.5 L 8 cm With *Corps Premier*, Jimmy Dupont reduces the human figure to its essential features: a stylized body, raw forms, and a compact presence. The title evokes a primal form, prior to any detail, which the patinated bronze captures in a dense material. This approach is part of a long tradition of synthetic figurative sculpture, from Cycladic idols to modern explorations of the archaic body. A small-scale, freestanding work that questions the boundary between figuration and abstraction.
