Loup Sarion (1987, Toulouse ) lives and works in New York. He studied at the école nationale supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris from 2010 to 2015 and attened the Cooper Union School of Art of new York in 2013.

His sculptures blur the line between the body and object, intimacy and abstraction. His creative process often begins with clumsy sketches, which are then enlarged and transformed into sculptural forms—whether noses, hats, or luminous sculptures reminiscent of bones. Through his works, Sarion delves into intimate narratives and androgyny, playing with the interplay of concave and convex shapes.

His materials, often imbued with history, reflect his obsession with past lives: worn belts transformed into sinuous bas-reliefs, or noses sculpted from beeswax or polished aluminum, embodying portraits of strangers, lovers and anonymous figures encountered in the city or on the subway. He has always believed that a single facial feature is enough to tell an entire story.

Neither masculine nor feminine, the nose holds a unique place at the center of the face, charged with eroticism, grace, and awkwardness. It presents a world of projection—every bump, pore, and curve revealing something about its owner. Sarion captures intimacy and imperfections through tactile forms that engage with the body, architecture, and layers of human history, creating „mille-feuilles“ where geological processes and human traces intertwine.
