Kosmorrhagie

French artist, designer, and artisan, Erwan Boulloud graduated from the École Boulle. Beyond aesthetic success, he considers a work to be truly accomplished in its ability to generate descendants, which for him is a sign of its depth. His practice unites sculpture and design in an exploration of transformation, lineage, and metamorphosis, offering a body of work that engages both artistic and metaphysical questions.

Erwan Boulloud employs a wide range of materials, harnessing the potential of each to reveal its uniqueness. For Boulloud, matter is a field of experimentation: he burns, polishes, strips, dissects, and reconstructs in order to uncover hidden facets and depth. Guided by a Darwinian logic, his creations emerge in a state of perpetual effervescence, adapting and evolving to form lineages, crossbreeds, or mutations before eventually disappearing. Each assembled work carries within it a narrative that unfolds through its forms, materials, and movements.

Fascinated by organisms and minerals—stones, fossils, corals, meteorites, insects—Erwan Boulloud gravitates toward anything that invites reflection, meditation, and wandering. This fascination breathes life into his sculptural furniture, which blurs the boundaries between the animate and the inanimate. With poetry, Boulloud draws us into a universe where history and storytelling intersect, erasing the line between reality and dream. His works, true hymns to metamorphosis, weave connections between memory, esotericism, and science, reflecting on our relationship to life, its creations, and the mysteries they provoke.
