Award wining emerging sculptor
Lucas Guilbert is an award-winning emerging sculptor based in Melbourne, Australia, whose work is in high demand by art collectors, curators, and gallery owners around the world. His multicultural background, having been raised in Montreal, has deeply influenced his artistic practice and philosophy, which is reflected in his unique and provocative sculptures.
Guilbert's sculptures are not only beautiful objects, but they are also rare, signed, and collectible works of fine art. He employs a woodcarving technique that allows him to create original, handmade, and museum-quality pieces that are contemporary yet timeless. Each sculpture is part of a limited edition and is exclusive, making it an excellent investment opportunity for serious art buyers and collectors.
Primarily self-taught, Guilbert's artistic vision involves creating larger, site-specific public artworks, as well as finely crafted small and medium objects appropriate for local and international exhibitions. His pieces have been featured in solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, and juried shows, where he has been recognized for his unique approach to sculpture, which is informed by his personal experiences and appreciation for nature.
Guilbert's fascination with wood has driven him to explore all ecological regions of the continent in search of exceptional pieces of timber. He employs a range of techniques, such as burning, charring, brushing, distressing, oiling, buffing, bleaching, ageing, dyeing, and quenching, to achieve the desired effect on the material. His sculptures are truly unique, as he often includes raw steel or brass, resulting in genuinely singular pieces that are iconic and collectible.
