Antoine in Japan
After Siberia, a beautiful story leads Antoine to Japan. This is what we can call a split
worthy of the Crazy Horse dancers!
In awe of this nature so beautiful that it sometimes becomes unreal, he walks across the country, throughout the seasons. Chanel’s Nexus Hall cultural space commissio- ned a series on spring, summer, autumn and winter. Four trips and eight months of work later, he decided to create his own “season 5”, a nod to the famous perfume.
A creation that he wants to distance from the vision, a “cliché” hint of the order. Overlays of images, seasons, moments of wonder for a rendering with a sometimes supernatural atmosphere.
Antoine Poupel, beyond all borders
He doesn’t just cross geographical boundaries, he likes to be where you don’t expect him.
A little overview of recent years. He went from creating thirty portraits of gardeners exhibited at the Hanging Gardens of Le Havre to a project on religious rituals and carnival in Guadeloupe, followed by a commission from the city of Martigues “Who is this child?’’ portraits of children in a nursery.
At the same time, he collaborates with great artists like Sam Szafran and creates unique works. Antoine Poupel is a quiet hyperactive person.
