Antoine Dufilho
Bugatti Atlantic Noire

About the Item

Base - polished aluminum steel. Wheels - polished solid aluminum. Fuselage - black painted steel plates. Signed limited edition number 7 of 8. It’s by being aware of his roots that a man can grow. Antoine Dufilho is aware of the roots that plunge into art and his work proves it. As a child, Antoine Dufilho learned about visual arts from his great-uncle, who’s an actor, painter and sculptor. Later, medical studies allowed him to discover and to dissect the complexity of human biomechanics. Architectural studies have then led him to a new approach to sculpture, particularly to the work of the framework. Which once exposed, reveals a succession of full and empty, bringing lightness and dynamism in the general form. Antoine Dufilho is a self-taught artist, who experiments with different techniques such as molding and welding to gradually build the aesthetics of his art around this DNA that characterizes his creations; he began to devote himself fully to it in 2012. His work consists of exposing an alternation of fullness and emptiness, materializing a skeleton, decomposing forms into successive layers. A movement is created by this sequenced representation. It is therefore a kinetic vision of a static object that offers the artist, particularly thanks to the strolling of his observer, a different interpretation depending on its observation point. The dynamic effect is accentuated by an alternation of symmetries and asymmetries, causing an acceleration or deceleration effect. Between the names Dufilho and Bugatti, there is a link almost palpable, which has been woven by the passion of several men. First it was Jacques, Antoine’s great-uncle, who had the chance to collect Bugatti. This huge passion was passed on his nephew and naturally, as we transmit a genetic heritage, the torch was passed to Antoine. This love for the artistic vision of the automobile led Antoine to the creation of car sculptures. He started working aluminium to sculpt a bugatti type 37, which was one of his great-uncle garage jewels. His collection counts today, about thirty models, which all have that identifiable style from the artist.
