Richard Dupont

Two works: (i) One (# 2), 2005; (ii) One (# 3), 2005

These two works by Richard Dupont are meticulously crafted sculptures cast in pigmented UV stable polyurethane resin, presenting uncanny, life-sized replicas of the human form derived from a three-dimensional scan of the artist's own body. The use of industrial resin lends the figures a ghostly, otherworldly quality, simultaneously hyper-realistic and artificially removed from organic life. Together, the paired works explore themes of identity, reproduction, and the boundaries between the self and its technological representation.
