Loup Sarion
Loup Sarion’s practice lies between painting and sculpture, where color is subsumed by material. The works’ overlapping textures relate to the slippery nature of language, specifically to the tongue—the organ of language. Sarion pays particular consideration to color, surface and texture, often echoing the phenomena of condensation, skin perspiration, and bodily fluids in his work.
Loup Sarion has exhibited work at C L E A R I N G, New York City; Berthold Pott, Cologne; and Formato Cómodo, Madrid, among others.
