Lucas Guilbert
Lucas Guilbert is an emerging sculptor based in Melbourne, Australia. Raised in Montreal, his multicultural background deeply influenced his artistic practice and philosophy. After extensive travels, Guilbert settled in Australia in 2007 and was inspired by the unique landscape and cultural paradigms of his new home. Guilbert’s woodcarving technique allows him to explore the relationship between wood and place, and he uses the sculptural process as a means of introspective, meditative self-exploration.
Primarily self-taught, Guilbert began carving wood in his early life and has had the privilege of learning from master craftsmen.
“This exhibition presents a retrospective of my sculpture practice over the past five years, as well as a glimpse into my current artistic direction.
My work explores the interplay between the material’s inherent qualities and my sculptural intervention. Wood offers itself openly, revealing its history, features, and idiosyncrasies. In contrast, the carver’s touch, the tool’s mark, and the maker’s imprint are constructed with intentionality.
I strive to balance forms, tones, and textures, but more importantly, I seek the equilibrium between the imposed and the revealed. From abstract inspiration and flights of imagination, my sculptures manifest through the physicality of the wood grain.
Wood tells a story of transformation, from photons to matter. By carefully attuning my actions to the material’s essence, I create works that unite the wild and the tamed. These artworks unapologetically bring the essence of the natural into the constructed world”.
