Julien Saudubray — Icônes / Akènes
03 april 2025
Over the past months, Julien Saudubray (b. 1985, France) developed a new body of drawings and sculptures. The result, 'Icônes / Akènes', is now on view at Wouters Gallery in Brussels. The exhibition brings together two series on paper, one in colour, one in charcoal, along with three sculptures assembled from studio leftovers. The title is set up like a mirror: two words that echo one another in form and sound, yet point in opposite directions. “I wanted to present two proposals that both conflict and reflect each other,” says Julien Saudubray. The first ideas for the exhibition emerged during a residency in Athens, late 2024.
