Loup Sarion (b. 1987, Toulouse, France) lives and works in New York City. He studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris (2010–2015) and The Cooper Union School of Art in New York (2013).
Loup Sarion’s sculptural practice explores the relationship between the human body, everyday objects, and domestic space. His works often begin as loose shapes that he develops into enlarged, tactile forms, including noses and tongues. Working with materials such as beeswax, leather, resin, concrete and polished aluminum, he gives particular attention to surface, texture, and color. These fragmented bodily forms evoke intimacy, desire, and the awkwardness of physical experience. Familiar features become ambiguous shapes that invite viewers to move between recognition and imagination. Through this transformation, Sarion considers how a single detail can suggest a presence, a personality, or an intimate narrative.
