Born in France in 1970, Lilian Daubisse graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Nantes. He currently lives and works in northern France.
Lilian Daubisse reveals the unexpected qualities of common but emotionally charged materials such as cardboard and paper through decorative objects, objects of curiosity and objects of beauty. Drawing his inspiration from distant cultures, Inuit objects and African imagery, Lilian Daubisse invites the viewer into a world of fantasy and on a voyage of the imagination.
“I discovered this material by chance. Ever since, I’ve been mainly using corrugated cardboard that is dense and wood-like and that allows me to work on all its chromatic nuances.”
Working directly with the material, Lilian Daubisse cuts it into thin bands. He then transforms the cardboard, folding it, pressing it and weaving it into checkerboard patterns, sewing it, playing with its different hues and reflections, its full and void spaces, and creating oscillations on its the surface. This ritual of repetitive gestures results in the creation of masks, ornaments, and mysterious, poet artefacts.
Lilian Daubisse created magical window displays for Hermès from 2015 to 2021, in Paris and internationally (Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore, Istanbul).
